[Elecraft] K2 sn 179 drop outs

[Paul Kemp]

I used my K2, s/n 179, at FD with great success with one problem. During tuning on 40 and 20M the encoder would temporarily "drop out", causing the received signals to cut out.

I bought the radio at an estate sale last September with the intent to use it for FD. It was a Rev A so I put in the Rev B upgrades for whatever options were installed (not much if any). I also added the noise blanker. I had noticed the drop out when I used the radio on occasion but assumed it was due to lack of use.

Elecraft doesn't show an upgraded encoder assembly on their website. Is there one for such an old radio? I have an email in to the tech support there, as well as researching the reflector.
