rotary encoder without detents

 

Can anyone give me a pointer on where I can purchase a replacement encoder for the Ubitx

Thanks

A suitable one made by Bourns is available from Digi-Key. ?Their part# is PEC11R-4020F-S0012-ND and I've used these with my various uBITX radios since day 1. ?Not terribly expensive either, I believe less than $2, plus shipping. ? ??www.digikey.com

Jim is correct on those encoders. I have tried the ones with and without detents. Both work, but I prefer the ones without derents for the uBitx. I have also used these successfully.?

I already had some of those cheap eBay encoders for playing with arduinos.? I took it off the board, opened it up, and removed the detents.?? I tried it with the detents first and did not like it. My radio layout does not allow connecting a USB to the raduino unless I take it out.?? Bad planning.? I made up an encoder on 6" wired terminated in a DuPont connector so I can check out the raduino while it is connected to my computer.

I slide the other way. There's a net I check into every once and a while that meets on a specific frequency. Using my FT1200, it takes me several tries to nail the precise frequency since the tuning dial is so sensitive to the touch. With my ?BITX, I nail it on the first try. I have good quality (Bourne) encoders without detents and several optical encoders, but I really like the encoders with the? "speed bumps" cuz I can set it more easily.
