[Elecraft] VFO problem

[Matt Zilmer]

I would suggest it's worth the time to swap the VFO A and VFO B
encoder boards.  It could be the encoder itself or its contacts to the
front panel board, either of them.

If you take this course, you might want to check the encoder board
contacts on each of them, and also take a look at the contacts on the
front panel board.  There may be some corrosion, dust, etc. on the
contacts.
