[Elecraft] KX3 Knob Responsiveness

[Dale Boresz]

Bert,

I don't know that this is necessarily specific to 'older' KX3's. My KX3,
S/N: 6080 AF/RF-SQL and KEYER/MIC controls behave the same way if the knob
is rotated very quickly. It's always been that way. Not a big deal; I just
need to remember to turn the controls more slowly.

73,
