The encoder has probably developed too much end play due to wear. Pull out
on the knob while turning and see if it still skips. If that seems to cure
it, you can hold the skirt and turn the knob to increase the drag. This
will cause the little wipers to push against the panel, taking up the slack
in en-clearance.

Personally, I'd do a micro processor reset.
You'd be surprised as to how many things that corrects.

I have an OMNI VI+ that is exhibiting VFO problems. Occasionally the main
tuning will not change frequency, or will do so at a very slow rate, or
in the wrong direction. It is almost as if the main tuning knob is
slipping on the shaft. However, it isn't slipping. This sometimes cures
itself or sometimes when I change bands a few times.
I have not seen this reported previously as an issue.
Anybody have experience with this problem?
Thanks & 73
