Howdy Gang.

I love my KX2 but the main tuning knob has always been a problem for me.

It’s just a tad too small and not easy to spin rapidly.

I found a very nice aluminum knob for the KX2 being sold on eBay by a gentleman in Winterport,ME.

The tracking item nr. is:  264113321673.

The knob costs $24.95 shipped, is CNC machined aluminum and is  black in color….not exactly cheap but worth every penny IMHO.

I just put it on my KX2 and tuning is now a dream…it feels like a much larger knob and the finger dimple is larger than the stock KX2 knob which allows for a nice fit.

It also fits the KX1 for all of the KX1 users out there.

A very nice addition to my KX2.

Now, if only Wayne can find a ball bearing rotary encoder for the KX2  all would be well in the world (grin).

Enjoy those Elecraft radios.
