Does the encoder part for the Drake R8B include the shaft that the tuning
knob sits on, or is the encoder simply a component in the radio separate
from the shaft?

The encoder wheel is located in a housing on the opposite end of the
shaft but it's all one (plastic) part. There are two ways to replace it.
You can buy it with/without the PC board that it's mounted on. The board
is actually a carry over from the original R8 which had an optical
encoder, so it's not really necessary for the A/B models. The encoder
without the PC board costs about $15. You can solder the three wires
coming from the encoder plug, to the pins on the encoder housing,
eliminating the PC board. Are you having a problem with your encoder?
