[Elecraft] K3 knob play

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

Elecraft has switched to a tighter encoder for both the K3 and the KX1 
so that condition is not present on newer K3s.
What you describe is 'normal' for the older K3s.  Yes, they seem to 
function just fine even with the shaft which has some sideplay.

73,
