[Elecraft] K2 Custom Knob and Carrying Handle

[Unifiedtx@aol.com]

Before this thread gets extra long in the tooth again I would like to put in 
my two cents worth.  The present K2 knob has a heavy feel to me, and the knob 
has a sharp feel to the touch.  A dimple may help, but this doesn't eliminate 
the heaviness and sharp feel of the circumference.  The FT100 knob is light to 
the touch and has a good feel.  I imagine the FT900 knob also has a good 
feel.  I also put a Kenwood TS 850 carrying handle on the right side panel.  The 
handle is exactly the same color as the K2 and really looks good.  And yes, you 
can put the handle on with the KPA100 installed, but you have to be careful 
where the chrome handle escutcheon screws are installed.The bolts (I used 
locking nuts) must be clear of all internal parts.  The screws furnished by Kenwood 
are not quite long enough for this installation, but I found good 
replacements at the hardware store.  Roy Morris  W4WFB K2/100 #2225
