Hello, Can not switch on RIT after two days of normal CW operation at 17&15 meters. Short and long press of left knob are OK only double click has no any effect. Double click works well at right knob and both encoders. Factory reset did not help. I suspect some?problems with the contacts, it looks like the button will have to be replaced. I would appreciate other suggestions. 73 Igor oh2jxa

Yes. No luck. I saw an earlier post where one person found bad solder flows on pins 92 and 93 of the MPU and reflowed them and it worked. I'm going to check to see if that is the case with mine.
Continuation of a story. After the sudden strange disappearance of the ability to turn on the RIT, returning to factory settings and reаflashing the firmware did not help. Checking the resistor and conductivity of the line from the button to the processor did not show any problems.An unclear situation, short and long presses work, as they should, double click - no reaction.When I increased the click time from 300 to 500 ms, I was able to turn on the RIT after 3 attempts.Now the RIT turns on after 3-5 or more attempts, better than nothing :) The next step is replacing the button.I plan to connect another button in parallel to the questionable one for testing, but that will happen in a few weeks.
