[Elecraft] K2 alternative Tuning knob ?

Here's another option.

Recently on my way to work, I stopped by Yaesu-- actually Vertex
Standard-- to try an FT-100 knob on the K2. After a few weeks of use I
concluded that it was okay, but the sloping curvature of the front edge
actually makes it *smaller* than the stock K2 knob. Not wanting to
sacrifice any diameter at all, I searched for another solution.

I ordered this black plastic dip from the back of QST and gave the K2
knob about three coats of it. The results are pretty good; the knob now
has a grip without the sharp edge to bother the fingers.
