That was exactly my thought!  Last year, I looked at the nice big heavy tuning knob 
on my IC746 and thought how nice it would be to have that on my K3...and then I 
realized that the rig would start to get heavier and heavier if you started replacing 
the current knobs.   Might not be much on the scale, but like dB on EME, they all add 
up!  Having carried this K3 with me to E51, I appreciate keeping it as light weight 
as possible.  I will stay with the little plastic knobs until they get smashed ;-)
