[Elecraft] RIT Instability

Tue Apr 15 04:58:00 2003

Based on the limited responses (thanks!) this must not be a widespread =
problem.

I had intended to try a contact cleaner before removing the pot's - has =
anyone cleaned them successfully? It seems odd to me that both RIT pot's =
do this on my K2's, but none of the other pot's are noisy or otherwise =
compromised...

See you all at Dayton.

When adjusting the RIT on my older K2's, the frequency jumps around a =
small
amount within the RIT range rather than tuning smoothly. There is no
instability when the knob is stationary. This problem began on SN #139 =
after
several years of use, then SN #583.

 Several questions:  Is this a common problem? Is the only solution
replacing the pot's?

Thanks & 73,
