Hi All, I just had my first failure on the K3. I noticed both the AF & RF small knobs were slipping so I thought the set screws were loose. But closer examination showed that both knobs were cracked. I replaced them with some small aluminum ones from Radio Shack. I don't think I over tightened the knobs when I built the radio. Is this a problem with other radios? Maybe I got a bad pair. 73 Hardy N7RT
