Seems like the standard radios in my
youth all had 1/2" diameter knobs, and they were spaced at least 1
3/4" inches apart or more. So, the ones on the K2 are probably too
small, and too close together.
I'd go even bigger, because I have big hands. Tuning knob should be
in excess of 2". other knobs in excess of 1". Say 2-1/2" for the
tuning and 1" for everything else. Yes, that's big!
2 1/2" tuning knobs are moderately small. 3" is more like it.
But 1" knobs are pretty big, actually. Perhaps 3/4" ?
What other knobs would you have on a K2-like radio?
Some form of dedicated bandswitch
I disagree here. I don't rotary bandswitches are beneficial. (They
certainly are traditional) Pushbuttons work great, and if you don't
like the single band-up/band-down, we could always expand this to
have a dedicated button for each band.
Some form of dedicated filter selector
Same issue here -- I actually prefer the buttons to the rotary
switch. It would be REALLY nice to have a series of buttons for this
though -- that way we could directly access the filter setting we want.
Some form of dedicated AGC selector
Again, I'm not sold on the rotary switch. You just need more buttons.
