After swapping the VFO A and B encoders on my K3 work-in-progress, the "no encoder control" problem moved from VFO B to VFO A. So separately I've email K3support asking for a replacement encoder.
Now, has anyone come up with a better solution for separating the front panel from the main radio, being kind to the paint job? I haven't ding'ed it yet after four attach/remove cycles, but the two "insert screwdriver here" slots just aren't cutting it for me! 73 Rick N6CY -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 18:53 To: Rick and Theresa Low Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Loss of VFO B encoder control Rick, Does the VFO B knob change the frequency of VFO B? If it does, there is nothing wrong with the encoder, and you should send a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If not, swap the encoder between VFO B and RIT (or VFO A and VFO B whichever is easiest for you) - if the problem follows the encoder position, ask for a replacement encoder. If the problem stays with VFO B, then there is a front panel problem and you should ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] for additional assistance. 73, Don W3FPR Rick and Theresa Low wrote: > (separate weekend mail sent to K3support) > > I'm in the middle of "Test and Calibration", which begins on page 64 of the > Assembly manual. > > Initial power Checks: satisfactory > Synthesizer Calibration: completed satisfactorily > Filter setup: made it through Filter Bandwidth Setup and Filter Center > Frequency Setup...but it appears the settings may not have been > accepted...and I've lost control of the ability to change anything using the > VFO B encoder. > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
