I use the P3 with a fairly wide span to spot and pounce on signals in the CW bands. The P3 is near the edge of the table and I find myself most comfortable when placing the heel of my hand on the table edge and twirling the QSY knob with the index and middle fingers to move the cursor around the band. This was hard to do with the stock knob, it seemed a bit small and I needed a little more friction also. While rummaging around in a drawer I found a couple of those dipped vinyl protective caps used made to fit SO-239 connectors was inspired. One of these fits snugly over the P3 QSY knob. It fattens the knob considerably and offers a lot more friction. I can twirl away effortlessly now, and tapping is easy too. Here's a photo link:
