Wasn't it Hammarlund who had some receivers with knobs like that, including the little spinner handle?
My old HRO-5 had a huge and heavy knob that had a great feel, connected to a shaft and gear mechanism that looked like an automobile differential complete with a filler of grease! That's why I questioned whether the current encoders were up to handling heavy knobs. Now that Eric has reported that the K3 encoders have ball bearings (so the wear is spread over many points instead of just on one side of a sleeve), I sure that now someone do whatever it takes to see how much weight they can handle, Hi! Let the good times roll! 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of FredJensen Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 4:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] HEAVY KNOBS??
