[Elecraft] K3 new GAIN knobs

[Eric Swartz -WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

This sounds like he is not talking about the concentric knobs on the 
AF/RF gain pots (which have a set screw).

It sounds like the push on knobs used for the four mechanical encoders 
just to the left of the VFO knob. Those push on knobs fit very snugly 
and he may not be pushing them on all the way.
