[Elecraft] Icom IC706MkII-G Knob

[Don Wilhelm]

The most common knob folks add to the K2 is the Yaesu FT-100 knob - it has a
rubber ring and a dimple.  I have chosen to use the knob from the Yaesu
FT-900 which is heavier and deeper, has a rubber ring but no dimple.  You
can view my K2 with the FT-900 knob on my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr.  I find
no use for knob dimples, but I do roll my thumb around the front edge of the
knob, so the sharp rim corner of the stock K2 knob is not good for me YMMV.
