Hi Wayne,
Well after all the hype here about the original 73CNC knobs I got a
main knob. Surely personal but I liked the change in rotational feel. Subtle
but there. Worth the money I'd say no but the deed was done.
Along came the model with the aluminum inserts and dimple with a
bearing. They so reminded me of the Collins gear I wished for and the Heath SB
series I had way, back then that I got a set. Liked them and got a K2 matching
knob from his limited run of that.
Along comes the KPOD.... Knob didn't match. No response from
73CNC. Did a WTB on the reflector and secured another.
As a retired engineer sometimes "eye candy" wins over function.
A Ferrari or Chevy will both get me to the store for a quart of milk but......
My KX3 feels neglected. Wants verses needs are totally different.
73,
Bob

Both the stock VFO A knob and VFO B knob are weighted. The VFO A knob also has
a soft-touch rubber ring.
I have to admit I'm a little baffled as to why any different knobs would be
desirable. We tried to optimize for both function and aesthetics. But hey, I'm
just an engineer :)

I found two sources 73CNC.com and a LZ2 site. Neither one seem to ever
have stock. Are there any other sources?
