[Elecraft] Tuning Knob for K2?

Mon Aug 12 09:18:03 2002

I replaced my K2 tuning knob with one from an FT900.  I prefer the size
which I feel is better 'scaled' for the K2 than the FT100 (purely personal
opinion). To achieve the proper felt washer spacing I went to Home Despot
and found a felt thingy that is intended to go under the feet of furniture
to help them slide easily over the floor.

Actually, I'm glad Elecraft supplies the knob they do. It's certainly
functional and anything else "better" would probably add to the cost of the
kit. It makes customizing the front of the K2 easy, optional and if done, a
personalized choice (as something I built).
