OR you can go the grocery store and buy a bunch of broccoli and use the red
or blue band on the stock K-2 knob !

Gil,
The FT-900 knob is no longer available. You can add an FT-900 (or ft100
or FT847) tire to your stock K2 knob and add the Elecraft finger dimple
too. The stock K2 knob has adequate weight if the drag is adjusted
properly, but the sharp edge is a problem for me - the rubber tire helps
dramatically - I don't care for the finger dimple, but many folks seem to
like them.

To those who dare - I'm in the middle of a mess, attempting to rework my
whole QTH shack "upstairs in the big house", and in so doing, I enjoy
firing up the Icom 756 PRO I have alongside the K2 which is now doing a
better job of SWL than the Icom. The only real problem I run into is that
the Icom tuning knob has some "weight" to it, along with a spinner
dimple, which makes it easier to tune, and "faster" than the K2. I'm
wondering if it makes any sense to attempt to find an FT-900 knob, or
just figure out a way to add some weight to the k2 knob? And, yes, I've
already looked over the Yaesu website, no joy at this point.
