[Elecraft] Shaft Encoder - KX1 #897

[Fred Jensen]

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 sure this is recent (last few weeks) and wasn't a problem when
I first finished the kit.  

Is this a common problem?  Is it fixable?  I finished bought the kit at
Pacificon in Oct 04 and finished it a couple of weeks later.  I will
admit that my KX1 is getting quite a bit of use ... I worry the K2 is
feeling like an ignored step-child these days.
