I have KX3 SN : 8857, the VFO tuning knob came loose and seems to want to pull out and spin very rapidly. It seems to tune ok, but the looseness doesnt seem right. It wasnt like this before. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Mike AD7VV  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android ___

Did you pull the rubber cover off the knob? There’s a hex screw under there. It may have loosened enough for the knob to slip up on the shaft far enough to be free wheeling. You can adjust the tension by pressing the knob closer to the case.. > On Apr 1, 2018, at 8:04 PM, michaelheit--- vi

Lance, I apologize, but that information is incorrect. The KXSER uses a sealed molded connector for the RS-232 connector. It can not be opened. There are a number of simple RS-232 male-female break our boards onthe net. You might want to try one of those. Or just make a simple short RS-232 cab
