[Elecraft] KX3 Knob Responsiveness

[Scott Manthe]

Hi Bert,
I think this happens occasionally with the older encoders. Here is a 
link to a page with the run-down on how to replace one, if you decide to 
try it. Please feel free to contact me, as well, if you'd like to hear 
some of the advice I got.

The VFO (?) knobs (A and B) work great and the response to turns is immediate. If I turn the AF gain rapidly, the sound (and the numbers displayed as "AF xx") don't react in sync, especially if I turn it fast. If I turn the knob slowly, no problem.
