[Elecraft] KX2 Weighted Knob

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

Good solution.  Hope it holds up.  The lack of knob weight on this most amazing little rig is the only genuine physical design gripe I can come up with.  would be nice if it was a slightly heavier and rubberized grip.. pretty tough with such as small knob though and may be cost prohibitive.  Your solution make lots of sense to bridge the gap.  a push button encoder to add another route to menus would be another afterthought.

Hi,
    Well, I might have done it. I like a little heavier knob on my radios. Ever since I had an HRO radio.
    I took the KX2 knob and put 4 nuts in each of the four bins in the back of the knob. I took some modeling clay and forced it in to hold the nuts and to give more weight. I think that is just about perfect for weight and inertia. Comments?
