[Elecraft] K2 - Cost estimate for repairs

[Dennis Moore]

Thanks everybody for the replies. I've got some ideas on what to do if 
UPS wants repair estimates. Toying around with it, I was able to 
straighten the encoder shaft. Don't know if I was shifting the position 
of the encoder within the case or the shaft in the encoder, but at any 
rate it now appears straight, turns smoothly and doesn't seem to have 
any tuning errors. Not loose or wobbly at all. When I get in to the 
front panel I'll see where it was bent.

Yeah, you'll say I should have left it alone until after UPS looks at it 
but I'm a tinkerer and want to get this radio on the air. If I can get 
by with just replacing the AF and RF gain pots then that's what I'll do. 
They need to be replaced but they work if I adjust them just right. 
Touchy settings.

Don mentioned offline that the K2 encoder changed to the same style as 
used in the K3, when did that change occur? This K2 is #5711.
