[Elecraft] K2 - noisy AF & RF Gain Controls

[William Eric McFadden]

Good day.

My Revision A K2 has noisy AF and RF gain pots. More precisely, turning
the AF gain pot produces scratchy audio and the turning the RF gain pot
causes the audio to drop out momentarily.

I've heard that the sort of behavior I'm seeing/hearing with the AF gain
pot isn't necessarily caused by a faulty pot; if this is the case, which
mod should I install before I think about replacing the pot?

Is the RF gain issue probably due to a failing pot?

Tnx es 73,
