Oh I don't know about that. With my add on speaker system, and heavy knobs I can close my eyes and then can't tell if I'm tuning my 9000D or my heavy knobbed, external heavy dual speakered K3. Yes the heavy knobs add a nice feel to the K3, if you've got $100 to spend on something frivolous, you could easily do much worse... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Alexander Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 12:04 PM To: [email protected]; kx4oJohn Huggins Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Tuning Knobs - Any Consequence? Yes, you'll be about $100 poorer and have made absolutely no improvement to the performance or capabilities of your transceiver. 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS --- On Wed, 12/22/10, John Huggins, kx4o <[email protected]> wrote: > From: John Huggins, kx4o <[email protected]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Weighted Tuning Knobs - Any Consequence? > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, December 22, 2010, 11:50 AM All, > > Does anyone know of any issues the extra weight of the "weighted > spinner knobs" such as these... > > http://www.73cnc.com/73cnc/elecraft.html > > ...might cause the bearing points of the tuning shaft in the K2 or K3? > > Thanks. > > John ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
