I think I'll build a fake shell 6 times bigger than the K2 with big huge knobs and dials on this shell of a radio connected in such a way it's hidden from view but fully controls the K2 hidden within. And to hell with 2 1/4 inch VFO knob. I am going with a mans knob fashioned out of solid lead and about 5 3/4 inches OD with miniature lights all around it that light up in sequence as I turn the VFO matching the stations I hear with the light show it produces.
Now back to sanity on the list: k3ey with a SMALL real samll K2/100 loving it just as it is least I would have never put almost two grand into it.

For those familiar with the National HRO-500, it was all solid-state but the size of the "conventional" tabletop/rackmount receivers of its time. Somewhere in my junk...err, parts collection, I have a spare tuning knob for the ICOM R-7000 reveiver - properly weighted and 2-1/4" diameter. If I can find it and if it fits, I'll put it on the K2. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
