That's how my knob acts. I had to give it a spin to see, and it moved just
over a turn. That is light enough that I can simply rest my index finger on
the face of it to twirl when tuning some distance.

Since I have had the so-called "drift problem" with my K2, I have checked to
be sure the knob won't move on its own. Holding my K2 in my hands and
shaking it and rocking it quickly side to side causes NO change in the
frequency display.
