[Elecraft] KX-1 Trouble...

[Don Wilhelm]

Burke,

Check the soldering on the encoder pins.  It does sound like you have an 
encoder problem if some kind - maybe a bad encoder - in all the KX1s 
that I have built and repaired (I have not kept count, but it is not a 
small number), I have found only one bad encoder, but even though it is 
rare, it can still happen.
