I usually run in the 100 Hz resolution, and turning it slowly in the increasing frequency direction will sometimes result in a 100 or 200 Hz decrease. The key seems to be "slowly," going faster seems to be ok. I am sure this is recent (last few weeks) and wasn't a problem when I first finished the kit.
Is this a common problem? Is it fixable? I finished bought the kit at Pacificon in Oct 04 and finished it a couple of weeks later. I will admit that my KX1 is getting quite a bit of use ... I worry the K2 is feeling like an ignored step-child these days. ----------------------------------------------------- I can't reproduce it on KX1 #004 Fred. Nor have I heard of other complaints. I'd recommend a very close inspection of the encoder connections. Two or three months is a common interval for a missed joint to start acting up as some oxide forms on the metal surfaces, depending upon the weather (Literally! Humidity, etc. Sometimes a missed joint won't show up for a year or more but it seems they do more often sooner than later.)
