[Elecraft] K2 VFO Friction

[W3FPR]

Joel,

Do you have the old or the new encoder? look in the hole to the right of 
the encoder shaft - if you see a bit of green, it is the old encoder, if 
nothing in that hole it is the new one.
The new encoder needs 3 felt washers stacked while the old encoders need 
only one.

Contact Elecraft, and they will send them to you.

73,
Don W3FPR
