I have been manually correcting this, reprinted 30 new manuals today so that 
newer kits will be corrected.

Errr...he means the ROOT/POWER/UNITY rotary switch.

OK, it's NOT scratchy. If you are running audio through it, and you apply 
pressure to the knob, the what will happen is you will get "bounce" like in a 
pushbutton (the 2 metal sliding contacts scrape, there are <100US disconnects 
between the contacts, and the AD538 freaks out). So...be aware that even when 
you briskly rotate the switch, there is a short time that some of the *12* 
contacts are "in flight" (not touching anything) and the AD538 is going "What's 
up with THAT??!?" and you may hear a noise burst. When the switch it sitting 
there it's happy and no noise. Ain't analog grand?
