K3 VFO B knob

Has anyone tried the tuning knob for a KX3 as the VFO B knob on a K3?

Looks like it's a little larger and has the dimple which would be nice.

It's quite a bit larger and might interfere with other controls.

Re: K3 VFO B knob

Tried it - it doesn't really interfere with any other controls, but
"hangs off" the bottom of the front panel by a couple of mm, and so
looks a bit odd. It feels quite good, though.

I noticed, before I even started to remove it, that my VFO B knob has cracked :(

Re: K3 VFO B knob

Thanks Wayne and Iain,

I was about ready to order a VFO A knob which I think is acceptable on VFO B but figured the KX3 one would be better.

I also had a cracked VFO B knob. Looked like the insert was too tight and stressed the knob. That was quickly replaced by Elecraft a couple of years ago.
