I soldered a 10K resistor across the RIT pot and magically cut the range in half. It was easier than dealing with C7 on the rf board. I find RIT=Off a satisfactory "center detent".
Per your request, I'll spare you my comments on the gain control as the K1 doesn't need one.

Before I start, a couple of questions: 1. Has anyone come up with a good RF gain control, aka AGC threshold control? Please, no lectures about how the K1 doesn't need it, or how the RF attenuator works great. 2. In searching the archives, I found hundreds of posts about the RIT range. Too many to sort through. Is the mod in the manual the best and simplist for reducing the RIT range, or was there a definitive posting of a better one? While I'm at it, is there a drop-in replacement for the RIT control that has a center detent?
