Hmm, "the big three"?

Elecraft, Flex and who's third, Anan or Sun?

The West Valley Amateur Radio Association, operating using the 
call K6EI, has known the value of all modes on a band at the 
same time for years. We are all Elecraft for that reason.


I realize that Field Day is not a contest, but if you look at 
the results you can see how our solar powered, QRP operation scores.

Well, of the big 5, we know the policy of one of them. That's 
how I got replacement knobs a year or so ago.

2018-06-08 Thread Scott

Mike,

Yep I contacted Elecraft Parts too and they are sending me a new knob at 
no cost.


Don,
I did take the knob off and test the pot and it is fine, so the knob is 
definitely the problem and I'm getting it fixed via an excellent 
Elecraft support policy from a few years ago.  I'm guessing, but I'll 
bet the other manufacturers won't do that.


Thanks Elecraft.

Scott,

Remove the knob and try turning the potentiometer shaft without the 
knob.  If the potentiometer has stops as expected, the potentiometer is 
OK, and you have a cracked knob.

Contact Elecraft support to obtain a new knob.

Buck,
(and everyone else)

I just inspected the knob and sure enough where one of the set screws 
goes into the knob is a fine crack the full length of the knob, top to 
bottom so to speak.  So I guess I'm off to Elecraft to see if the knobs 
are still free or not.


I vaguely recall reading about this on the list a few years back but had 
no problem with it then so it didn't stick in my memory.


Thanks.

up and down ok but it does not indicate properly.  Additionally it will
go "all the way around" to adjust the volume.  The interior sub receiver
AF knob (the biggest and closest to the radio front panel) works fb.

Is there any way to fix the smallest AF knob without changing the pot or
is that the only fix.  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AF Knob - No End Stops/Detents

If you look at the knob carefully, you will probably discover it is 
cracked.  Request a replacement from Elecraft.

The smallest AF knob (the one furthest "out" from the front panel) does 
not stop at the min and max detent stops.  It still adjusts the volume 
up and down ok but it does not indicate properly.  Additionally it will
