[Elecraft] K3 static electricity

[Steve Ellington]

What can I do to eliminate the static electricity problem with K3? Every 
time I touch the main VFO (A) knob the display goes dark, audio goes off, 
frequency changes among other things. After about 5 seconds it recovers but 
somewhat off frequency. Just a little foot shuffling will develop enough 
charge to cause this. Touching the metal on the rig will discharge things 
but it's hard to remember to do this. Am I missing a ground on this VFO knob 
or what? BTW...The FP is only a few months old, new version.
