I used an FT-900 knob on my K2 for a while and enjoyed it -- The
FT-900 knob is larger than the FT-100 knob.
I have since reverted to the stock K2 knob, but with the addition of an
FT-900 tire around it to protect my tuning thumb from the sharp corner
of the stock K2 knob. The FT-100 tire will also fit on the K2 knob, but
it is more of a stretch than the FT-900 tire. I know the FT-900 knob is
no longer available from Yaesu, but the tires may be. I have no current
information about the FT-100 knob not its tire.
If you do use an FT-100 knob, break off the plastic pin in the shaft
recess so it mounts closer to the K2 front panel.
