[Elecraft] KX1 Tuning Direction?

[w6fvi]

Hi, Nigel!

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your KX1 was kitted with the 
wrong type of encoder for the VFO control.  The normal type of encoder 
has a blue body, the reverse type has a white body.  Lisa at Elecraft 
has spent the last two weeks trying to contact all recent purchasers of 
the KX1 kits to warn them of this error; apparently she did not find you 
in time.

Please contact Scott in the Elecraft Parts Department, 
parts at elecraft.com or (831) 662-8345, and tell him you need a new blue 
KX1 encoder; a new one will be shipped to you immediately.

You will need to remove the white encoder.  The easiest method to do 
this is to use heavy duty wire cutters to clip the leads and mounting 
tabs to remove the body of the encoder, then use conventional mmethods 
to desolder the remaining leads.

Everyone at Elecraft apologizes to you for the inconvenience this is 
causing you.
