Paul,
They are not based on powers of 2. It's just a matter of how many lines are on the codewheel. US
Digital has a 540 count encoder. That is the encoder Mark has that gives him the 2160 count. It is
only a physical parameter that sets the encoder resolution. Check out this URL for a more detailed
explanation.

Like you, I don't understand how they can make encoders with
weird
counts/revolution. I'm an electronics type and understand digital
just fine, so the odd numbers just don't seem right. Maybe it's the
mechanical gearing thing.:-0

I think they're all powers of 2, as is everything in the computer world:
256 = 2^8 (one byte)
1024 = 2^10
2048 = 2^11
4096 = 2^12
