[Elecraft] K3 AF Knob - No End Stops/Detents

[Scott]

Buck,
(and everyone else)

I just inspected the knob and sure enough where one of the set screws 
goes into the knob is a fine crack the full length of the knob, top to 
bottom so to speak.  So I guess I'm off to Elecraft to see if the knobs 
are still free or not.

I vaguely recall reading about this on the list a few years back but had 
no problem with it then so it didn't stick in my memory.

Thanks.
