Hi all-

I picked up a used KX3 for a pretty good price. However, the VFO B 
encoder is defective. It has lost the push-in switch functionality. So, 
I need to replace it. If you've replaced one of the encoders, how harry 
is the process? I built my KPA500 and am relatively competent with a 
soldering iron, having replaced SMD diodes and transistor on occasion, 
but I'd hesitate with my oldish eyes to want to do much more than that. 
It'd be nice to save the $125 trip to Elecraft, but I don't want to make 
a minor problem worse. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
