[Elecraft] Build quality of K3 regarding control knobs andswitches?

[Dave Perry]

The main tuning know is very solid and silky smooth.  The ergonomics of the
K3 is superb in every respect.  I particularly like the feel of the push
buttons.  A real joy to operate.

I don't know what you consider "wobbly" - I find the K34 knobs to be to
my likeing, but since you have doubts, I suggest you go to a hamfest
where Elecraft has a presence, and you can touch and feel the knobs for
yourself before making a decision.

Yes, there have been some instances where the knobs would split and the
concentric knobs were off-center, but those problems are being addressed
by Elecraft and the defective knobs are being replaced at no cost to the
consumer.

Especially the main tuning knob. I know it's a great radio overall, but I
don't like wobbly control knobs. Thanks!
