Case closed. You can bet behind the scenes Wayne is really annoyed busting mfr chops about getting knobs that don't split without having to raise the price 200 bux for machined knobs. What did the guy say, a little expensive? Yeah, just a little...
It's a radio. I want to hear stuff. I can get knobs on stuff that doesn't hear. If I want to get tactile, I turn on the old 75A3. Nuthin modern FEELS like the old Collins gear. Heavy metal, R390A, wonderful gear mechanisms. But none of them HEAR like the K3. K3 is the first out-of-the-box modern radio that I am sure will always hear CW better than a R390A. But the original 1954 purchase price (this was the *reduced cost* version of the R390) in current dollars would be around $24,000. You can get real nice knobs on a $24,000 radio.
