  That's about the size that I would wish.  For those familiar
  with the National HRO-500, it was all solid-state but the size
  of the "conventional" tabletop/rackmount receivers of its time.

  Somewhere in my junk...err, parts collection,  I have a spare
  tuning knob for the ICOM R-7000 reveiver - properly weighted
  and 2-1/4" diameter.  If I can find it and if it fits, I'll put
  it on the K2.
