For those owners of newer K2s, be aware that the NEW K2 encoder (those 
with a board soldered to the back of the encoder) has a larger shaft 
diameter than the older K2 encoders.

I mention this as a way of warning newer K2 owners that the normal "K2" 
knob may not fit your K2.
The new encoder shaft diameter is the same as the K3 encoders, but the 
K3 VFO A knob is too large for the K2 and the K3 VFO B knob may be too 
small in diameter.

Know what you have in your K2 before ordering a replacement knob.
