[Elecraft] K3 Large tuning knob for VFO B

I have installed a standard main tuning knob on VFO B for the second 
receiver on my K3. 

The grand purpose of this is to get an equal feel for VFO A and B for 
tuning the second receiver.  It works well for this purpose.

The front panel symmetry does not look as nice to me as with the 
original small knob.  It covers the Text Dec and B lettering but does 
not interfere with any controls.  It hangs about 1/4 inch below the 
panel but clears the table by 1/4 inch with the tilt bail closed.  I 
think I will get used to the appearance.  I like the K3 knobs and do not 
feel the need for a Yaesu or other knob.

Aloha,
