We’ve gone from a weighted knob for the KX2 (I don’t own one, so have no opinion) to a dimpled tuning mechanism on the K3. As to that, no thanks. (How ever did we do ham radio without one?)
Perhaps a shock device, appropriately connected to the operator, that would fire every time a digit changes? Or maybe just a beep in the monitor every time a digit changes (as long as it can be turned off)? But please no dimpled tuning … Grant NQ5T K3 #2091 KX3 #8342 > On Jan 8, 2019, at 9:11 PM, Bill Frantz <[email protected]> wrote: > > Knut - > > With all due respect, I strongly disagree.
