Brent, I have information about the Yaesu FT-900 knob on my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr, but the phone number is wrong again - I just can't keep up with Yaesu parts - look them up with a Google search - as of 2 weeks ago, Yaesu parts were handled by Vertex Standard, 10900 Walker Street, Cypress, CA 90630 and the phone number was (714)827-7600.
Now for the bad news - Yaesu has discontinued the FT-900 knob, but you can still buy the rubber tire for it. With a bit of stetching, you can slide the FT-900 tire over the stock K2 knob and you end up with a nice knob without the sharp front corner. You can add the FingerDimple (available from Elecraft) if you like them. The FT-100 knob is a bit smaller, and does have a recessed 'finger-hole', and is quite usable on the K2 (many folks like it), and that is available from Yaesu. I recently bought 3 of the FT-100 knobs and tires, and have 2 extra FT-900 tires available. I can send the FT-100 knobs to the first 3 persons who request them for $18.60 plus shipping ($1 for 1st class mail or $3.85 for Priority mail). I can ship an FT-900 tire by 1st class mail for $2 or $4.85 for Priority mail. This is not a price savings over ordering direct from Yaesu, bu I can save you a few pennies on the shipping - they ship only UPS and it is a minimum of $6.36. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I would like to replace the tuning knob on my K2.
