Hey!
I like a nice wide red rubber band, the type that comes around one
of my favorite foods, broccoli, stretched around the knob and positioned
so that the edge of the band just protrudes from the front edge of knob
maybe 1/32"...that way you can catch the lip of it anywhere around the

A very acceptable solution, for those with no local broccoli supply,
is to obtain from your local sports store a rubber sleeve intended to
go on a tennis racket handle. Cut a short section of this and it

Since knobs for the K2 and what brand of solder to use with the K2 seem to be
unending topics on the reflector, I wonder if anyone has bothered to relate the

Dear Frank,
As far as I remember you will build and test the K2 first without options. If
everything is ok, you will install for example the KSB2. During that
installation you will have to remove solder bridges and a capacitor, but this
is described in the manual of the KSB2.

Frank, you might want to look at Gary, KI4GGX's "unpcb"s. They are dummy
boards that replace all the optional boards and include the parts that
would normally go on the main board. The idea being that you don't have
to rework the main board to uninstall parts when adding an option in the

Has anyone taken the rubber band off of an FT900 knob and used it to
bundle together broccoli? ;o)

With the K2, the only good reasons to use any form of PTT on CW is if one
