Re: K3 rotary encoder replacement fun-again
Yes, specifically for things like changing power levels, bands, mixer settings, and the like. 5w, 25w, 75w and full power buttons are programmed in. That lets me get close to where I want to be

Re: K3 rotary encoder replacement fun-again
Hi Mike,
I had the exact same issues with my encoders... About 5 years in... I sent the K3 into Elecraft, and had them do it, and update the radio as well, there were a few things they did to bring

Re: New home for K3...
It is actually coming along fairly nicely... I will bundle all the cables tomorrow after toning them out to make sure I made no errors in plugging them in.

On another occasion I traced a problem like this to the connections of the KAT3 antenna tuner.
Took the KAT3 out, cleaned all connectorpins of the KAT3 and

G5RV and a vertical for 2 and 440. The problem is present no matter
which antenna is inline. Both instalations are only a month old,
