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

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

The wobble itself is normal, but I have the skipping every now and then 
too.  Mine either loops (1-2-3-1-2-3) or skips (0-2-4-7-8), but not 
often enough to make me want to replace the encoder yet.  I think I 
damaged the encoder in a backpack, as I had to replace the pots in the 
past.  I tried to show it to Wayne N6KR but it wouldn't fail then.
