=================================================
I also changed to 170 khz and like it better now. I installed the metal
shaft ten turn pot at build time. It has a nicer feel. 17 khz per turn is
not bad. I changed to a K2 knob and like that better, also. It was
necessary to ream the knob hole to 1/4 inch from 6mm. The K1 knob went on
another rig.
