[Elecraft] K3 Tuning Knob (was: K3 Tops the List!)

[Barry N1EU]

I also found the K3 to be a great performer in the tough condx this weekend.  

I must quibble a bit about the tuning knob however.  I find it just about
impossible to adjust it for slight damping without feeling asymmetric drag
against the felt washer.  I can't get it to feel smooth, yet damped.  I've
been very careful in making slight adjustments and just can't find a sweet
spot.  I'm not loving the felt washer adjustment system - am I missing
something?
