It appears (in my humble opinion) from all of the trivia surrounding the K2 tuning knob, that there are a lot of K2 users that could use their time more "constructively" building new kits and accessories for the K2 shack. How about it Eric and Wayne: what's new thats coming down the R&D pipe ?? BTW, I use the FT-100 knob with satisfaction ... Regards Dave VE6DRW
