Dohn, You may want to look at the Yaesu FT-847 tuning knob. I have not yet removed mine from its home on the FT-847, but it is about 1 1/2 inch diameter and has a finger-dimple hole and a rubber ring. Yaesu considers the ring a separate part.
The FT-900 knob has been discontinued, and many have used the FT-100 knob which is a bit smaller. On my K2s, I have the rubber rings from the FT-900 that are stretched a bit and placed over the stock K2 knob - you can add a finger-dimple if you want, I have little use for them, but that is just my style. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dohn > Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:16 AM > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: [Elecraft] Tuning knob Alternative > > > I always liked the looks of those FT-900 main tuning knobs on the > K2.
