Bad decoders, "Tin" pins, audio/speaker issues, intermittant keypad responses, RIT encoder issue etc have rendered my early K3 pretty useless. Add a very expensive shipping cost to and from the factory prohibitive, mine has now been set aside and earmarked for scrap. Support at Elecraft is excelle

I think there was a bad batch of decoders or decoders that didn't perform as claimed. I am not sure mine have ever worked right. Unless you have two radios to compare to one would never know and there was never anything sent out that said hey if your encoders are acting wonky you might have go

They tend to be not very responsive. The power and speed encoders work much smoother. Could they be dirty or is this possibly a known issue? -- Mike W0MU __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft
