I've been surprised that after all the dial spinning my rig has endured there has been no noticeable change in the drag. I thought it would have required re-adjustment by now.

I think it would be good to have felt washers under the other knobs on the K2. 73, Drew AF2Z _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
