[Elecraft] Replacement of the K2 encoder with Honeywell part

[TI2/NA7U]

Not too long ago I got a lot of help here diagnosing a stuck frequency
display on one of my K2s. It was determined that both the encoder and U3
needed replacing. Being a thrifty ham  and with some good advice from KA7OEI
about using alternate encoder parts, I decided to try a different part that
is about 1/3rd the cost of the original Elecraft part. Happily, it worked,
though the mounting of the new encoder was a bit challenging. All the
details are here:
