I've always been happy with the Factory Knob with the Finger Dimple, but then again I almost never touch the radio, I let Ham Radio Deluxe and DM780 do that.

I think that a K2 would look even better with small, white-line-indexed, fluted, skirted knobs like the ones on the old Hammarlund receivers. I have seen a few of those from Mouser, et. al., but they seem to be either too large in diameter, or the wrong shaft size. I would be very interested in finding that type of knob to replace the stock knobs, even if they are (relatively) expensive.

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 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
