[Elecraft] K3 No. 8527, CMP/PWR-Control not responding

[Don Wilhelm]

Arne,

Yes, I also suspect the encoder has gone bad.
You can replace it yourself if you have de-soldering capability.  If 
not, your K3 will have to go back to Elecraft.  Contact 
parts at elecraft.com to order the encoder, or if you prefer to send it in 
for repair, contact support at elecraft.com to request an RSA.

73,
