[TenTec] #%$^%$ RIT/XIT encoder

[John T. Fleming]

I had the problem shortly after I got my Orion in 2003.  My first reaction
was a cold solder joint.  I removed the front panel and hit all of the pins
on the encoder.  One pin was stubborn on allowing the solder to flow
properly.  A bit more heat until it flowed and I have not had any trouble
since.

They do.  The issue referred to appears to be a physical problem with the
encoder that has shown up in some radios (fortunately not mine -- yet).
This "pull on the knob" business appears to correct the problem in some
cases.
