I too believe the jury is still out concerning the long-term wear and tear on the Elecraft encoders caused by the use of extra heavy knobs.
The original knobs spin just fine on my K3; besides I'm doing more QSY's these days from the P3. 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C K2, K3 Don Wilhem, W3FPR, wrote: "I do worry about the long term durability of the encoders with quite heavy knobs, although I have not seen a K2 or a K3 that showed signs of encoder failure (yet). I had bought a couple of those old National knobs and gear boxes that had a worn elliptical shaft from extensive use and the dial would have "hard spots" in its rotation, so they were not immune to problems either." ______________________________________________________________ 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
