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,
Bill

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 K3's)
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

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
