[Elecraft] Big Knob Fail

[Don Wilhelm]

Hank,

He should email support at elecraft.com for the most certain response.
In the meantime, the encoders for VFO A and VFO B are the same - so he 
should swap them to see if the problem follows the encoder.  If it does, 
then a new encoder will fix it.  If not, it is more involved and will 
require additional assistance from Elecraft support.

If he does not know how to remove the Front Panel assembly and swap the 
encoders, he should download the assembly manual to see how it goes 
together and then reverse the procedure.

73,
Don W3FPR
