I used a Griffin Power Knob, using N4PY software on the K2. Now,
Mike, KE4U, has written software for using the Griffin Tuning Knob and
the K3. I found with the K2 it was very useful to be able to move the
Knob around the table, and not have to reach up to the rig. Maybe this
should be looked at by some. (Mike, I have to dig through 85+ boxes in
the basement "storage" area to find my Powermate!). I would like to try
it myself.
Please note that this solution requires the $ 45 Powermate and your
shack computer. It has a way cool blue LED glow from the bottom. K8AJ
really likes that!
