Ray, It looks like I'll be calling the parts department for a new encoder. I swapped A & B this morning and now A works and B doesn't. I didn't remember this when I built the thing but there is a surprise waiting for you when you try to remove the front panel. The screws on the left front of the RF board are in the way. I did a quick review of the assembly manual before attempting to remove it and some how I didn't notice this.
It would be really cool if there was a software way to swap the controls A & B. I'm not sure in how many cases this would ever be useful, but this is certainly one case. It has been almost 10 years since the K3 had been apart, when I built it. It is kind of hard to believe that it has been that long! Thanks & 73 de Joseph M.
