## Encoder Replacement for PortaPack H2 ## Encoder Replacement on PortaPack H2
### Disassembly ### Disassemble the device
To replace the encoder, you'll first need to disassemble the PortaPack. 1. Unscrew the screws and SMA connector rings.
2. Pull apart the case and carefully separate the PortaPack from the HackRF by gently pulling upwards to disconnect the pins.
3. Disconnect the speaker and battery.
1. Unscrew the four screws holding the top plate. ### Removing the Encoder
2. Unscrew the four screws securing the bottom plate.
3. Unscrew the SMA connector rings on both plates.
4. Pull apart the case and carefully separate the PortaPack from the HackRF by gently pulling upwards to disconnect the pins.
5. Once the PortaPack is free, flip it around and locate the speaker and battery connectors.
6. Unplug both connectors, and set the the rest aside.

### Preparing and Installing the Replacement Encoder ### Installing the Replacement Encoder
The replacement rotary encoder will likely have long leads designed for through-hole mounting. However, the PortaPack uses surface mounting for this component, so the leads will need to be trimmed down.
