[Elecraft] Button malfunction on K3 panel

[Dave Hachadorian]

These malfunctions can be caused by switch problems in the four 
encoder/switches on the left side of the main VFO knob, e.g. 
CMP/PWR. Try pushing the buttons and rotating the knobs on these 
four encoders about 100 times each, and the problem may go away. 
Mine acted up two years ago, and I bought replacement encoders. 
They were quite inexpensive, but when I went to replace them, the 
job looked too tough for me.  I just exercised the old 
encoder/switches and the problem went away and has not recurred.

I especially notice annoying malfunction on buttons, 
Band/Up/Down/VOX/QSK, Mode/Up/Down/ALT/TEST
and SUB button. These are controled by external software commend 
with no problem. For me multiple
function button seems crazy, not easy to use.

I have K2 where same kind of buttons (simple TAP and HOLD) are 
used. I have not noticed this malfunction.
I hope “easy to use” buttons are used in the next Radio.
