[Elecraft] Re: K3 feeling of knobs and switches

[O. Johns]

Is this thread maybe related to the following problem?  The tap of the  
SPOT key is very goosey on my K3.  If I just tap it very briefly, the  
SPOT tone fails to come on.  I have to press it for just a fraction  
longer, but not long enough to register as a HOLD (which triggers the  
PITCH function).  Takes a delicate touch.

As a test, I turned on the audible switch-press feedback (CONFIG:SW  
TONE).  I find that even a very brief tap of the SPOT switch always  
makes the small feedback beep sound.  But only some of the time does  
it turn on the SPOT sidetone correctly.

Anyone else?
