I'm still looking myself. The two I see recommended are for the FT-100 and FT900. You can get info on the FT-900 knob atit at http://www.qsl.net/w3fpr/index.htm. I like the size, but I want something with a recessed finger dimple.
I went to HRO and measured a bunch of likely candidates. The TS-570 knob looked good, but it is 30 bucks! The FT-900 knob is reputedly about 10 bucks. I also looked at the Icom R75 which is the same diameter (1-3/4") and the FT-847 which is an 1/8" smaller. Both have the recessed finger dimple. I haven't had a chance to price any of them other than Kenwood (they have prices on the Internet), but I'll post what I find. I'm also looking for something better for the K1. I want something a little bigger and rubber covered because the knob is so sharp. I bought the add-on finger dimple from Elecraft and, while it is great for rapid QSY, it has a sharp edge and it sticks out too far so it is always in my way when I am fine tuning. I want a recessed dimple. I looked at the TS-480SAT knob. It's only 1-1/2" in diameter, but it is also 30 bucks. I'm still looking. Some of the guys have resorted to buying turnips at the local supermarket to get the rubber bands for their K2 knobs. I'm not there yet.
