[Elecraft] K2 Tuning knob resistance too tight.

[David Lankshear]

I too was concerned when the tuning knob of my K2 #5551 was stiff, even without a felt washer or two.  The encoder shaft was very carefully scrutinised and no errant fibres were visible.

It was with reluctace I requested a replacement encoder, because I believe it's an expensive component, but Elecraft speedily provided one without hesitation.  Wow!  What a difference that made!

At the time I offered to return the stiff encoder to Elecraft for examination, but they declined.  I still have the stiff encoder and the offer of its return to Elecraft still stands.

Great radio and outstanding backup.
