Yeah....I have the FT100 knob on my K2.....when I called Yaesu in Calif. (circa 2001) and was connected to the parts dept. I told the man I wanted a FT100 main vfo knob......he asked me what serial number was my K2, so there was apparently a big demand at that time. Several years later I heard that they were sold out and since the FT100 was out of production they wouldn't be getting more. I really like mine.......gave away the stock knob to someone who was asking on the reflector, if anyone had a spare....he wanted to experiment with to machine a slot for a rubber ring and make a dimple, etc. Never heard how he made out.

So, two measured at 37mm and one suggestion of 1.6 inches (40.64mm). Any advance, going once, twice...... A popular replacement in the early years was the knob from a Yaesu FT100. Nice rubber ring on it and a not too useful finger dimple. So many FT100 knobs ordered that apparently Yaesu thought there was a quality control problem.
