[Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

[Harry Yingst]

My father was an engineer from a long line of German craftsmen, so I have come to appreciate the beauty in something well engineered.


The entire K-Line is quite pleasing to the eye stock. The beauty of simple clean lines is one of the things
that drew me to the K-Line in the first place (and probably why I keep buying all the matching pieces).


Admittedly when I got my K-Pod I was tempted to change out the new style rubber grip for the old style just to keep things all uniform.

Both the stock VFO A knob and VFO B knob are weighted. The VFO A knob also has a soft-touch rubber ring.

I have to admit I'm a little baffled as to why any different knobs would be desirable. We tried to optimize for both function and aesthetics. But hey, I'm just an engineer :)
