Gary,
We've been shipping the K3 since 2008. Things do wear out, sometimes, with
products that get nearly continuous use (like K3s). We strive to locate and
ship the best-quality parts we can that are compatible
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
The 4 encoders to the left of the main tuning knob all have a "notchy" feel
to them whereas the RIT encoder feels smooth. Is this normal? Are the
newest encoders notchy or smooth? Is the displayed frequency supposed
to change when the RIT knob is turned even when RIT is off?
73, Roger

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
Perhaps Eric will clear this up but maybe my experience can
help with this issue.
The last time I sent one of my K3's back for some work - I
mentioned that those four encoders in that cluster had a noticeable and
undesirable
'backlash' feel to them - could they do something about it?I was told by

I am having the same issue with the PWR, Width, and Shift encoders as
well...

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?
