[Elecraft] Shaft Encoder

I am working on two K2's which both have a problem. No matter how and how hard you turn the front panel knob, the display almost moves a couple Hertz, then settles right back to where you started. I have no clue how fix this anomaly. I'd welcome any insight the group can offer. Thanks,

No matter how and how hard you turn the front panel knob, the display almost moves a couple Hertz, then settles right back to where you started. Bill NA7Y Bill, it depends wether it's an optical encoder or a mechanical. I assume the latter but I am not familiar with the K2 (dreaming about

[Elecraft] shaft encoder... re-wire for less stress

I found that time to time a get a cold solder on wires that connect the shaft encoder. The shaft encoder stop responding and I must do a gentle «tap» on it if I want to use it. I also found that the green wires used to connect the shaft encoder to the board are quite hard and not flexible

I've noticed recently that the VFO shaft encoder doesn't seem to count reliably. I usually run in the 100 Hz resolution, and turning it slowly in the increasing frequency direction will sometimes result in a 100 or 200 Hz decrease. The key seems to be slowly, going faster seems to be ok. I am
