I'm personally okay with the front panel design, but I wish the VFO B
knob had a bit more friction. Is there any recommended way of adding this? Should I just try to cut a felt pad and place it between the knob and the panel?

Dick,
There should already be a felt washer under the VFO B knob (at least, there is on mine.) To increase the friction, just use an allen wrench to loosen the two set screws and position the knob a little closer to the front panel. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Nov 25, 2008, at 10:18 PM, Richard S.

Thanks to Joe and all the others who answered off line. I had put a
felt washer on when I assembled the K3 (#911), but there was a second felt washer that was left over. With two felt washers, it is easy to get exactly the tension you want. Somehow I must have missed this in the instructions. Also, by now, I've pretty much forgotten the details of assembling the K3.
