Be aware that if you ship the radio, you will want to remove the heavy knobs...

If the radio is man handled, the the moment of inertia, (for lack of a better term), can get quite high when the package is dropped, and break the encoder shaft.

I've been using a pair on my K3 since about 2011 and also have had a pair installed on my K3S for just over a year now. Zero problems. The tuning feel with the weighted knobs is wonderful. Go for it.

Before I install 73inc weighted knobs on my K3S, is anybody of the opinion that these knobs cause long-term damage to the PTO shaft? These knobs are quite heavy, compared to the factory ones.

Seems Elecraft used lightweight knobs for a reason.

Input appreciated.
