[Elecraft] FT-100 Knob to K2

[EricJ]

I recently bought the 73CNC steel knob for the K2. I still can't believe 
I spent $90 for a freakin' radio knob! But I love it, and would do it 
again. Totally transformed the feel of that little radio.

Just for fun, I tried it on my K1, but it's too heavy for the wobbly 
encoder used in that radio. You can hear it scrapping inside as it 
turns. So the old stock K2 knob went on the K1 and transformed that (my 
favorite) little radio as well. It needs a slightly bigger knob and the 
K2 knob is just right.
