[Elecraft] RF POT (K2)

[Fernando Quinones]

K2 2330 experiences the same malady. Even a slight bump will cause this. 
I'm waiting
to get in there and replace the pot. Just having too much fun to open 
her up.
Hate to replace it and have the problem resurface.

1) yes.

2) ??

AF pot gives plenty of volume with no scratchiness so no problem there.

take care

I do find that if I rapidly rotate the knob back and forth through perhaps ninety degrees a dozen times or more, the problem is temporarily reduced.
