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

[Berni G0IDA]

Guys,

Thank you for all your advice.

I have sent off an email to Elecraft & will wait for their response & my 
hunch was too that the encoder is at fault.
I was thinking of swapping them around, however, my K3 is a factory 
built K3 (I wanted one which would work straight out of the box so to 
say as I have such little time these days with work to enjoy building 
the K3 (I might build a K1 tho)) and I'm not sure if I can go & change 
components around it would invalidate the warranty so I'm not going to 
do this unless I get the go ahead from Elecraft.

Once again, thanks for all your replies, very much appreciated & has put 
me at somewhat ease.

73's
