[Elecraft] Tactile Feedback

[Bill Frantz]

I would like to feel some tactile feedback when using the 
RIT/XIT knob to make gross changes in frequency. If there was a 
detent for each change in frequency, then I would know how much 
to turn the knob without having to look at the display.

The same feature would be nice on the other encoders -- 
Shift/width/speed/pwr and the two VFO knobs.

I don't know about the practicability of getting encoders with 
tactile feedback.
