[Elecraft] KX3 tuning knob friction

[Bruce Beford]

Phil, this is normal, and intentional. In keeping with the portable ethos of
the KX3, having a completely free-wheeling VFO knob is not particularly
desirable. It helps prevent unintentional frequency shifts. I think you will
find that you get used to it.
