Hello All, Last Friday I took delivery of a new K3 along with a P3 and lots of accessories including Fred Cady's book on the K3. Only problem to date is "noisy" VFO knobs. The technique to lessen drag does decrease or eliminate the noise which sounds like fingernails dragged across a chalk board and I do find that noise most objectionable. Of course I can free myself of the noise by backing off the knobs but I'm left with no noise, and no drag at all. So my choices are no noise, or no drag. No drag leaves me with a surprisingly free turning VFO knobs that is problematical and proper drag leaves me with that horrible scraping which for me is simply intolerable.
Has anyone come up with this same problem and has found proper mitigation solution? Thanks, Natan W6XR, C6AXR, VS6KR Freeville, NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
