[Elecraft] wear out items

[Charles Harpole]

Maybe today's rigs will be discarded to the rear shelf in 5 yrs, but if not, 
here are some things that will make them wear out for the user

and number one on the list is the practice of writing the function of the 
knob or button ON THE KNOB OR BUTTON.  With use, the writing wears off and, 
lacking etched writing, there goes knowledge of that function control.

Irritation number 1 are push buttons that have no annunciator (thing to show 
their "on" state).  Is the button in or out ?  Hey Mr. designer.... put in a 
"lighted when on" spec on all ur push buttons.  Little things go a long way.
