[Elecraft] VFO-A Dial not working :-(

[Berni G0IDA]

Hi,

I have just got my K3, it is 2 days old & was so excited to use it. For 
the first day everything worked and now VFO-A does not tune.
After switching the radio on it'll work for about 10sec, then the tuning 
becomes erratic and then after 20 sec it does not tune at all.

I think it's a component failure, perhaps the dial-opto module.

Has anyone had this problem or could help?

I have written off to Electraft and I'm waiting for a response.

All the best,

Berni
