Why not reformat that email and send it to the Editor of QST?

Have you sent this research off to a refereed publication to get credit towards
tenure or merit? I loved the scientific analysis of buttons and knobs by a
credible academician.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't
have any
When I first saw the K3 at Dayton I made fun of the small second VFO knob.
In fact, I was obnoxious about it. Wayne and Eric were good natured (as
always) but I could tell they were a bit defensive. I was also worried about
the
multi-function knobs and how small the face looked. I was
connectors. For
any outside activity, this needs to be on your checklist in big red letters!

I don't own a K3, at least, not yet, but got to
play with one at a Frankford Radio Club
Hi,
I tune with my right forefinger and I have the same problem, although not
too seriously. Coming to the K3 from an ICOM IC-718 I had grown accustomed
to using my thumb in the swiveling dimple on that machine's tuning knob. I
really miss that. I would pay real dollars for somebody to come up
Maybe just loosen the setscrew and move the knob away from the panel
for a bit more hand clearance? (This mod probably not approved by
Elecraft ;-) )

That will, of course, change the friction considerably, too. So ...
iffy ... unless you like a completely freewheeling tuning knob.

For each radio with a dimpled tuning knob I have had, I always end up not
using the dimple. Instead I tune by rolling the tip of the index finger
aroud the outermost part of the cylindrical knob surface

Well, if NCJ counts as an ARRL publication, then they did compare the K3
knob and button spacing with those of the FT-1000MP in that forum. I
wrote Rotary
controls are slightly larger but slightly closer than on the MP. K3
pushbutton spacing is slightly wider. Of course, that's not nearly as

This really IS a minor quibble, but the QST review noted that some hams
might prefer the larger and more widely spaced buttons and knobs on full
size transceivers. Turns out this isn't generally correct. By coincidence,
a couple of days ago I compared the front panel layout on my K3 and my
W8ZR:

Thank you for actually making those measurements! Why can't ARRL should
