[Elecraft] Alternate Knob for K3 VFO B - update

[wayne burdick]

A larger knob at VFO B would make it a little harder to use the switch 
above it and the RIT offset knob to the right of it. That's what 
determined the knob's size. To make up for the medium-ish size, we 
included a brass insert in the VFO B knob to give it some heft. It does 
spin, and you can adjust the spin decay rate by moving the knob in/out 
to vary the amount of contact with the felt pad. The VFO B knob also 
has knurling that matches the rest of the knobs (since we designed them 
all at the same time). An adhesive "spinner" might be useful and 
wouldn't detract from the appearance or get in the way. K8FF makes a 
nice black one that matches the knob color.

Since it's obvious that I'm hopelessly biased toward our present K3 VFO 
B knob, I probably can't add anything useful to the discussion, so I'll 
go back to firmware now ;)
