Channel Selector Issue with NX3320 K2

[Lharr03]

Hello,
I recently bought a Kenwood NX 3320 K2. When I programmed the radio (using an existing .dats file), I ran into an issue where the channel selector knob is not changing to the appropriate channels. I have 1 zone programmed with 13 channels, and when I attempt to change the channels using the selector knob, the following issue occurs:
Channel 1: Channel 1
Channel 2: Channel 2
Channel 3: Remains on Channel 2
Channel 4: Back to Channel 1
Channel 5: Channel 8
Channel 6: Channel 7
Channel 7: Channel 7
Channel 8: Channel 8
Channel 9: Channel 9
Channel 10: Channel 10
Channel 11: Channel 11
Channel 12: Channel 9
Channel 13: ****** (with siren)
Interestingly enough, I have the directional pad on the front programmed to change between the channels and it does this fine with no issues. If anyone has any ideas on what to do, please let me know.

its a bad flex as the trace is bad i have seen that before. I take it this is not a brand new radio but a used one? if it is new get it fixed under warranty if it still has a warranty.

Yes it is a used radio. I'll see what I can do to get it fixed. Thank you both!

the flex or the selector is not hard to fix yourself if you know how to use an iron and some wick. and you can order the pars from a place like pacparts. the selector you just need to be careful of the nut on top as it takes a special tool to take off or put on but last i seen there is a cheap one on eBay for like 15-20 USD.

If it's the same type of nut on older KWs then needle nose pliers can work fine. I have a pair of pliers for jewelry making I think and they work great, and I've used a flat screwdriver in the past before as well.
