Re: [Elecraft] K-3 Pwr/Cmp/Mon button problem

Kim,

That sounds like a bad encoder.  Replacement is the only real fix.
It is tough to desolder the tabs, but otherwise not too hard.

I have a older Factory built K-3 (s/n 3530)

The Power/Compressor/Monitor control is touchy.

It usually works if I turn it very slowly. Turning it at normal speed causes it 
to skip up and down in value. This is true for all three of the options 
(Pwr/Cmp/Moni).

Is this a known problem? How hard is it to change out the control assuming I 
can get another one from Elecraft?

I thought I would ask here before I bother Elecraft Service with the problem in 
case it is an easy known fix.

Thanks,
