[Elecraft] Lightness of the K3

Lee,

You must really have a strong button pushing finger - mine takes an 
estimated 10 pounds of force to move it.  The rear feet and the bail 
pads grip tightly to my desktop.  It takes less force if the front bail 
is retracted.

You might try cleaning the rear feet and your desktop surface (dust will 
keep the feet from sticking).  If you are operating with the bail 
retracted, you could put some small (thin) rubber stick-on pads under 
the plastic front feet.

73,
