I got my KX3 kit (s/n 268) earlier this week. I had a few day pause in
building it while I waited for a couple of missing parts to come from Aptos.
I finished it today. It's a beautiful little rig. The only thing that I
have noticed so far that I am not wild about is that the VFO A knob (main
tuning) is stiff. Even with essentially no contact between the knob and
felt washer, the knob will not "free" spin. It takes enough torque to
rotate it that there is even a tendency of the rig rocking a bit as the
finger dimple is turned. It won't continue to rotate after my fingers come
off of the knob. Is this normal, or do I have an encoder with "issues"?
Thank you.
73,
Phil, NS7P
