I have looked high and low on the internet to find an alternate knob.  (I like the original, but I would like to have a finger hole as well.)  I cannot find a think that would look good on the K2.  I am not keen on the Yaesu knob...and I am not sure I want a "rubber band" from brocolli or a lobster on the knob.  Looks to me that it is not a professional piece of equipment with the rubber band.

Mark it up 1000 percent and see if guys like me would buy one.  I think I would...even if it would cost a little more.
