	if (rc_dig_in06 == 1)

	if (encoder == 11)
	pwm_02 = 128;

Couple of problems, such as,
"encoder" needs to be static or a global, so it retains it's value from call to call.
The check on rc_dig_in06 will increment "encoder" more often than every "tick"
"encoder" might shoot right past 11 and keep going.

But first what model encoder are you using?
