[Elecraft] KX3 tuning knob friction

[Phillip Shepard]

I thought that could be the reason.  Along the lines of the two button
turn-on sequence to prevent accidental power-ups in a pack.  This is a
wonderful K2 replacement for my SOTA pack.  Thank you.

73,

Phil

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.
