If Elecraft starts offering high quality/weighted knobs I hope they continue to offer the standard knobs as well. Maybe make that an option.. standard knobs included or pay an extra $500 for the heavier ones. For me, I'll stick with standard.

It is deeply silly, but you know, I can't really disagree. There are lame knobs, good knobs, and great knobs. The feel of a big audio variable attenuator? That's a sweet knob, hard to replicate in the digital era. We need to set this dude up with some amateur radio equipment. http://knobfeel.tumblr.com/ wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) On Sep 3, 2015, at 8:01 PM, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Each to his own, but I find touchscreens to be 'bothersome' - real buttons with tactile feedback and real knobs do much better for me. > I have tried tuning with the mouse scrollwheel, but find it cumbersome. For my radio, give me buttons and knobs - I can do the tuning and button pushing "by feel" and it does not take my concentration away by having to observe what I am seeing on the screen. > > Just my not so humble opinion. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 9/3/2015 10:33 PM, Brian Denley wrote: >> I'm with Chris.
