Hi Dave,

You'll need to replace that pot.  I've got the same problem
in my K2/10, and it's getting progressively worse.  The
issue is not solvable with contact cleaner - I recall older
posts on this same problem, and the advice was the
same: replace the pot.  Some commenters suggested
ordering replacements for all four pots to the left of
the VFO knob, but I've only had issues with the RF Gain
pot.  If you're like me, I turn off the AGC most of the
time and ride the RF Gain pot a lot, especially when
contesting.  That no doubt contributed to my problem.

73,
Mike, K8CN
