[Elecraft] Loss of VFO B encoder control

Rick,

Does the VFO B knob change the frequency of VFO B?  If it does, there is 
nothing wrong with the encoder, and you should send a note to 
K3support at elecraft.com.

If not, swap the encoder between VFO B and RIT (or VFO A and VFO B 
whichever is easiest for you) - if the problem follows the encoder 
position, ask for a replacement encoder.
If the problem stays with VFO B, then there is a front panel problem and 
you should ask K3support at elecraft.com for additional assistance.

73,
