Oh boy... again... ;-))

Take a look at the Yaesu FT-100 knob... I have one on my K2, and one spare for my next K2.

Take a look at my website at  http://web.mac.com/jf.menard/

Click on the K2 MOD tab i the menu.... look at the last two pics... and click on it to make it bigger...

A very nice look and feel when working with the knob.

I always liked the looks of those FT-900 main tuning knobs on the K2.  I had
an opportunity to use one and the extra weight felt good.  There don't seem
to be very many extras of these knobs floating around.  I've been looking
for an alternative that would have the nice feel of that outer ring and the
heft for tuning.



It's hard to tell which current models have a similar knob by looking at
adds.  The IC-7000 looks close but I'm not sure about the actual diameter.



Open to suggestions here.  A knob about 1 3/8" diameter, with some weight
and a rubber outer ring would be nice.



If anyone has one of those FT-900 knobs available, I'm interested.

Moi aussi.  I have the FT100 knob on my K2.  It is much nicer to use than the stock knob but I wish it was a bit bigger.  There's not much room though for a bigger knob on the crowded K2 front panel so I'll live with it the way it is.

I bought my knob new from Yaesu parts.
