This happens with pots from time to time.. dirty or worn contacts, possibly even bent. My car radio does the same thing with its "seek" knob. Gotta remember they didn't manufacture everything, they chose normally reliable parts and you got one of the lemons. Send it in for warranty repair or if you bought from China like I did those are the breaks, just replace it.
Simon:
I can't send it in for warrantry as I've opened it, hacked it and smashed the power switch. It looks like pulling it to one side works fine and well maybe an ascii pic driven control panel would be a cool project one day

Same problem here with the trigger level setting :-( I know the Kenwood encoders sometimes respond to having a motor attached to the shaft and just having the hell turned out of it. Are the encoders sealed? Of all the knobs this is one of the better ones since you can go to 0 or 50% without using it and that's usually adequate. But still :(
Might look into warranty but I guess I'd have to put my original S/N back in.
Simon:
well for warranty mines trashed, broken power switch and plenty of marks to show that I opened it up needless to say warranty label cut.
Anyone planning for a custom control panel to control the scope via RS232 ? a cool twist could be having custom setups that can be recalled and other cool controls. I've never done RS232 before though but it's something on the list now of todo's
