Re: [Elecraft] Has anyone recently got a K2 Kit with the NEW main Knob, Does it Fit?

2017-04-12 Thread Cameron Francey 
You had me wondering so I just popped out to the shack to check on all the 
manuals and errata sheets that came with my June 2016 K2 and the later one in 
January 2017.

Both came with errata revision A March 2012.

I see now that there is a newer errata sheet revision B from November 2016.

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740177%20K2%20Encoder%20Installation%20Instructions,%20rev%20B.pdf


I'm guessing my January 19th 2017 order must have shipped with the older 
version of the knob.



Cameron,

That is the old style knob same as on my old K2 and the one I just built

The new one as per the eratta (that came out in December as I recall).
Has a knob like the kx3 metal with a dimple and rubber tire.

Hi Harry,

I have my second  K2 which I got in the middle of January.

Both the knob on my earlier one, from June 2016 and the one from January 2017 
is the same, and it fits perfectly.  The knob is the updated one which also 
ships with the new encoder assembly.


Hope that helps,

When I ordered my K2 (end of January) it came in with the old style knob not 
the one that was in the Errata sheet (same style as the KX3).


After a series of calls and e-mails I finally got Elecraft to send the knob 
only to find that it does not fit correctly as the encoder shaft

is too long so it sticks out from the front panel and does not engage on the 
felt washer. Additionally the knob is also too large (diameter
in the rear where it flairs out so it it did engage the felt washer it would 
rub on the Display bezel.


So my question is to those who recently got a K2 (NOT the KX2).
Did you receive a KX3 style Knob as per the Errata Sheet and if so does it fit 
correctly?


Thank you
