When I have the K2 set for the 10 Hz tuning it sounds pretty smooth
to me, but if I have it set for the 50 Hz tuning (as I usually do) I
can very clearly hear the steps as I tune up or down past a CW signal.
I've also heard that on my K1; with very narrow signals and while
tuning very, very slowly, you can sort of hear the wiper moving. The
tone steps up or down. I know they're totally different rigs and
tuning methods, but the resultant sound can be similar.

The K2 does NOT use a "multiturn pot" for the VFO. A K1 does. The
K1 is a
totally different rig. The K2 uses a high-quality optical encoder
for the
main tuning.
