Greetings! I now have a K2. 8-)
I notice that when I have the RF gain full clockwise, radio works fine, but then if I so much as touch it to move it counterclockwise, it completely mutes out the radio as if it were already fully counterclockwise. Then as I move it farther, it resumes behaving as expected with commensurately variable degrees of RF Gain. It looks to me like an intermittent connection in the pot. I had resolved it, or so I thought, by just exercising the pot back and forth a bunch of times - thinking that the contacts were just maybe dirty. It started working normal again after that. And then after a while, it went back to its original odd behavior. So my question is, is there a specific kind of contact cleaner/electronic lube that one would recommend for this pot? Or am I looking at just replacing it? Or is there something else I’m perhaps not considering? This is merely an annoyance, not a show stopper… I still make Qs with the rig. I’m about to open the rig up to install a KIO2 and thought while I was in there I’d try and address the RF Gain pot issue, hence why I’m asking the K2 braintrust for their input... 73, Dave - N5DCH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
