The knob is a disappointment here too, Keith. IIRC, every ICOM 706
model (and the 7000 as well) had a finger hole with bearings so it
didn't wear your fingertip down. I wonder if the shaft size is the
same - maybe ICOM knobs will fit the K3.
BTW, I tune my K3 almost exclusively with WU2X/N8LP PowrSDR/LP-Bridge
now, so I don't use the knob much. Once I discovered click-tuning
with a softrock receiver and PowerSDR a couple years ago, I preferred it.
