RE/KX3 Future Accessories KX2

[George Sereikas-2]

Wayne,

I have one small request for the KX2. I’d like to see a replacement VFO tuning knob that is easier to tune.  I find that the current knob slips/slides off my finger.  A finger “dimple” or maybe something as simple as a rubberized knob or cover would do the trick.  Love the KX2 and the KX3,  but that one small improvement would be great.

Keep up the great work!

George,
100% supportt! I've been thinking even to swap the KX2 knob with the
lovely-rubber-coated knob of the FT-817ND! Not sure yet  if it is possible
at all, :). Surely, anything original from Elecraft would be of no
hesitations!

I would ditto George Serikas's comments about the tuning knob. Finger
dimple or whatever you feel would help.

Love my KX2 for sure.

I have one of these, which is experimental. It's definitely an
improvement over the stock KX2 VFO knob:
