[Elecraft] K3 Stumped.

[Dohn Smythe]

I checked the encoder and it was connected properly.  I can't help but thinking I'm doing (or not) doing something right.  Seems easy enough.

If this hasn't been a commonly made mistake, I have to wonder about the encoder at VFO B.

I would check connections on the VFO B encoder with the circuit board or look for a short.  Then, if that does not show anything, give up.  Actually, I would give up -- my next step being to call Elecraft support.  Or, alternatively, call Elecraft support first.

Good luck,
