[Elecraft] K2: Replacement tuning knob for K2?

[Don Wilhelm]

  Guy,

The one on the new K2 I am building (arrived just last week) has the 
same knob from all appearances.
The sharp edge is not a problem for those who use a finger alongside the 
knob for tuning, but for those of us who use a "thumb on the rim", the 
thumb get sore after a while.  A rubber tire (broccoli band) is one cure.

73,
Don W3FPR
