On the subject of tires to add to the existing K2 VFO knob, I received an interesting e-mail from Geoff, K7KBS who has difficulty posting on the Elecraft Reflector, so passing on his comments. Bob G3VVT Message was: Just read your submission on today's Elecraft Reflector and all the talk about asparagus and broccoli solutions to the K2 knob's shortcomings gave me an idea. I have some old bicycle inner tubes in my garage that I often cut up to make rubber bands for various things like holding tow ropes in a coil and other odd uses. I cut a piece just the width of the K2 knob and it makes a nice tight fitting "tire" for my K2. Perfection! What's even better, it came from an "English racing tire", so no need to look for an "American" solution to the problem. Balloon tires such as the standard for American bikes are too big. This, along with a stick-on finger dimple makes the standard K2 knob as good as the Yaesu replacement, and much cheaper. Another "homebrew solution". _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
