[Elecraft] KX-1 switches - anyone else having problems?

[Fred Jensen]

KX1 #897 has not had this problem yet nor has anything like this
developed with K2 #4398.  No one told me that QRP is highly addictive
(you'd think there would be a full disclosure law, no?), and my TS-850
is quite depressed since both my vanilla K2 and the KX1 get all the love
and attention.  Thus, the switches do get a workout.

One thing I have noticed on the KX1 is that the shaft encoder is a tad
flaky ... sometimes I'll be tuning downward and the freq goes up one or
two numbers in the least significant position.  It sort of depends on
how you hold the knob.  A little pressure toward the top will increase
the flakiness, toward the bottom will cure it.

I almost didn't make the 20 CW net cuz I had so much trouble switching bands!
