[Elecraft] Darn Dogs

[Don Wilhelm]

Joe,

After you deal with the dogs in whatever way is suitable and satisfying to
you <G> ...

Then order a new optical encoder, and look carefully for what has been
jarred loose.  I suggest that you will likely find the display problem
associated with the front panel.  Examine it closely for anything loose or
potential breaks in the PC board traces, and examine the solder
connections - if any look suspicious, re-solder.  Try re-seating the
microprocessor on the Control Board - practicing good anti-static measures.
