Ron:
I've seen one other knob broken... as a result of someone having tightened the
setscrew WAY(!!!) too much! In fact, I rounded off the corners of the little
Allen wrench trying to get the darn thing loose.
Folks (esp. those building their K3s) should be instructed to 'snug' the
setscrews down, rather than TIGHTEN them.

Has anyone other then me had one of the inter knobs for the RF or AF
gain break? Came in, turned on the rig and reached up and turned
the RF gain down and low and behold the little knob fell off the
shaft. It was broken right where one of the set screws was
located. I see there is no brass bushing in the knob for the
setscrew to be threaded into. Do you know where some better quality
ones can be purchased?
