K2 Knob

[Michael Raskin]

Looking for a VFO knob for my K2.  Does someone have an extra they want to sell me?

Mike,

Which knob do you have?
There are two shaft diameters.  The one for the original encoder is
smaller than the one for the new encoder (with a 1/4 inch shaft).

The new encoder will accept the VFO knob for the KX3, and that is what
is shipping with the new K2 Kits, but it needs 3 stacked felt washers to
provide a bit of drag on the knob.
The encoder is so smooth that you must have some drag on the knob to
keep the frequency from moving when you remove your hand from the knob.

The prior knobs are no longer available.

73,
Don W3FPR
