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.73,Don W3FPROn 1/26/2020 5:34 PM, Gary K9GS wrote:> I just had my K3 in for service and a checkup.  I REALLY hope I can avoid sending it in again. The VFO B knob is completely dead.  Turning it does not tune VFO B.  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
