I believe it's a push fit, I'd suggest pulling it :-) 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- God gives every bird his worm, but he does not throw it into the nest. -Swedish proverb On 16 Nov 2009, at 21:37, Barry N1EU wrote: Can anyone suggest the proper way to remove the RIT/XIT knob? __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] RIT knob removal?
If it's a K3, it's as simple friction fit with a spring to hold the knob securely; just pull it off. Be sure to you don't lose the spring insert when it comes off (it's a flat metal spring shaped like the end of the shaft) and orient the knob so the flat is aligned with the shaft when replacing it. If it's a K2, the knob is held in place by a set screw that requires a .050 (1.3 mm) Allen wrench. Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Can anyone suggest the proper way to remove the RIT/XIT knob?

Thanks for all the correct responses - just needed to pull harder ;-) 73, Barry N1EU On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 9:45 PM, David Ferrington, M0XDF m0...@alphadene.co.uk wrote: I believe it's a push fit, I'd suggest pulling it :-) 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] RIT knob removal?
Rule of thumb - first check for setscrews, and if none, it must pull off. Exceptions: Caution on knobs with rubber 'tires' - the setscrews are under the 'tire'. And to make matters more confusing, there is a new line of panel mount potentiometers with integral knobs - neat concept, but the 'knobs' are not removable (not used on Elecraft gear - so far). 73, Don W3FPR Barry N1EU wrote: Thanks for all the correct responses - just needed to pull harder ;-) __ 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
