[Elecraft] K3 AF knob..

[Scott]

Mike,

Yep I contacted Elecraft Parts too and they are sending me a new knob at 
no cost.

Don,
I did take the knob off and test the pot and it is fine, so the knob is 
definitely the problem and I'm getting it fixed via an excellent 
Elecraft support policy from a few years ago.  I'm guessing, but I'll 
bet the other manufacturers won't do that.

Thanks Elecraft.
