[Elecraft] KX3 VFO Encoder and a Post Script

Before I email Elecraft support, has anyone noticed any side-to-side 
play in their KX3 VFO encoder?  I noticed it this morning while tuning 
around listening to the WES.  Yes, I tried tightening the nut holding 
the encoder - it was not loose.  It is the shaft itself.

If it's normal, I'm not worried about it.

PS:  When adjusting anything in the shack, make sure your (+) power lead 
does not come into contact with the chassis of the radio. That'll wake 
you up like no coffee can.  :)  Luckily, nothing was damaged and the PS 
only required a hard reset.
