[Elecraft] K3 Broken AF knob and bad service to get an replacement.

[chen dave]

       About 2 or 3 months ago, my friend BD7IP met the same problem during
the normal operate(factory built). So I send email to elecraft to get the
spare part for him and other K3 user in China, including me of course, after
2 weeks it arrived for free. They kindly send me 6 or 8 knobs. Good enough
service!
       About 1month ago, mine K3 (#130x) 's AF knob also broken during the
normal use. I replace one with spare part, but it broken again after 2 days.
Thanks god I have another one, this time I assembled it  very careful. It
works well so far.

all the best!
