K3 Heavy VFO-A Knobs

[Jerry Gardner]

Apologies if this has been discussed before (searched the archives and
didn't find anything..]

I'd like to replace the VFO-A knob with something more substantial, like
the one 73CNC sells: http://www.73cnc.com/product_p/k3comboblk.htm.

Is there anything to be concerned about with using a 14 oz knob on a K3?
Will a heavier knob over stress the rotary encoder shaft?

73,
Jerry, W6UV

Go to:

and search for something like "heavy encoder shaft", and you will find
some past discussion.
