My K2 just started doing the same thing. I redid all the solder
joints between the board and the encoder, then checked the list
archives to see if anyone else had that problem.
I am going to order and install a new encoder. The reason I think
that it is the encoder itself is that with the knob off and the nut
on the encoder loose, I can wiggle it around to get it to work. You
would think that would be a bad solder joint, but as I said, I redid
all four wires and checked them with an ohmmeter. I think it's
something internal to the encoder.
It's not a hard part to replace. I will let you know how it goes.
In the meantime, I am using rig control to adjust frequency. :-(

Just started the the alignment & test Part 1 on my K2 (Rev. f) page
42.
Everything went well, no smoke or error codes, until I got to the
Optical
Encoder Test step2. It says to turn VFO knob in both directions and
verify that
displayed freq. changes accordingly. The only change I see is the
right most
digit, and it only changes from 7100.00 to 7100.01. Obviously not
much
movement. Have not seen this particular problem posted so I'm in
the dark as to
know how to fix it other than check my previous work. Any help
would be
appreciated.
