Todd, that sounds like a noisy pot in which the wiper isn't making good
contact with the resistive element inside. When you touch it, the circuit
opens briefly, which is the same as turning the RF Gain all the way to
minimum. That will cause the S-meter to read full scale. The delay returning

Thanks Tom,
I suspect the gain pot is defective. I will check soldering also. I'll get
an RF gain pot on the way and try swapping it out also.

Spraying the chemical onto/into a Q-tip and
then squeezing it out by pressing the cotton
against the upward-pointing shaft will avoid the

The lube is a good place to start Ron. Thanks. I have noticed that just
touching the RF knob causes this to happen so you are probably on to
something here. I don't have a lube other than tri-flow but will look for
something like what you mentioned. Todd
How interesting. My #1126 K2 does exactly as you described Todd. Although I
rarely change the rf control level, I've always wondered why my K2 behaved
this way. It'll be interesting to see what kind of comments your question
brings.
