PFR3B ENC1 replacement

Equipment
1

my PFR3B needs a “ENC1” encoder / push button replacement. QRP kits / Pacific Antenna do not have it. The designer KD1JV not answering mails.
Somebody would know where to obtain it ??

tnx, 73 , Kurt HB9AFI

A quick look at the manual describes it as “12mm mechanical Encoder, w/switch, vertical mount”. They are widely available from electronic distributors such as RS, Farnell etc.

Hi Kurt,
Perhaps from Reichelt?

Salut Kurt

Dies hier würde vermutlich passen:

Falls du möchtest, würde ich dir den Impulsgeber/Schalter im PFR3B gerne ersetzen.

I think Steve still has a mailing group kd1jvdesigns@groups.io if you join that group you may find someone who can source the switch. The old yahoo group was ATSprint and that is also at groups.io under the ATSprint name.

This is just to add that in the meantime Kurt has received from QRP Kits - Pacific Antenna the following part recommendation to replace the original encoder with switch: Mouser 652-PEC11R-4220F-512
