[Elecraft] VFO B dead

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

If you are not afraid of disassembling your K3, remove the Front Panel 
assembly and swap the encoder A with encoder B.  If the problem follows 
the encoder, then order a new encoder from Elecraft.  If that is not the 
problem, contact support at elecraft.com for additional checks.

Also tried the config screen...same thing.I suspect the encoder is bad but it showed no symptoms prior..otherwise I would have had it changed out when I sent it in.All other front panel functions appear to work.Any ideas?73,Gary K9GS
