Neoprene Ring for The Big Knob

[k6dgw]

Several asked how I liked it.  I finally consulted the manual, realized
how the knob went together, and put the new ring on.

While I seem to be able to adapt to many things that bug others, and I
had adapted to the original knob/ring, I really do like the feel of this
one. There's a significant increase in the tactile sense on my fingers,
and I seem to be able to set a frequency to 1 Hz more easily.  It's
worth the $16 + USPS priority to me.

Hi all,

I would like the new ring, but not for $ 50.64 shipping. This is getting
really ridiculous these shipping prices.

For something like that you should be able to choose "US Postal Service
First Class" which should be just a few dollars.

Looks to me like you need to find a buddy in the States who'll get you
one and post it to you...

USPS First Class International is $13.50... Much more reasonable... and
it has free delivery confirmation.

Sorry....  forgot to include... this was a hypothetical package weighing
4 ounces (box).  You could get the weight down with a bubble envelope
and the part weight next to nothing...  But a box would be more sure to
get delivered intact.

I have been told that USPS shipping rates will be reduced by 17%,
sometime in April. Not a huge drop, but it helps.
