[Elecraft] K3, k4 Black knobs

[Bill Frantz]

The Petzl Tikka headlamp has a red LED mode. I like them because 
they seem to be reasonably reliable compared with the other 
small, inexpensive, headlamps I have used.

(One of the other headlamps I otherwise liked kept the battery 
compartment closed with a thin loop of plastic. After changing 
the batteries only a few times, the loop broke, the battery 
compartment wouldn't stay closed, and the contacts on the 
flopping lid no longer completed the circuit.)
