I have a light blue broccoli-band on my K2 and I like the dash of color it adds. Decorative, functional and healthy too. 73/ Bob - W5BIG - Original Message - From: "Thom R.

It looks good on the knob, and once you get used to it, makes speed-tuning a snap. Use of the rubber band helps promote the "Mojo back to Nature" movement.

Re: [Elecraft] Rubber Knob for K2
I agree Jim, the finger dimples are neat. Also a neat addition to the K2 is the Elecraft/Bencher Hex paddle...what a great feel! 72 Tony, W4FOA - Original Message - From: "Jim Sheldon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Elecraft Reflector'" Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:45 AM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Rubber Knob for K2 Yeah, but that looks tacky hi hi.

RE: [Elecraft] Rubber Knob for K2
Yeah, but that looks tacky hi hi. The K2 is more elegant than that. Buy yourself one of those "finger dimples". It looks good on the knob, and once you get used to it, makes speed-tuning a snap.

Re: [Elecraft] Rubber Knob for K2
Or as some have done, put a thick rubber band from the produce department of your local supermarket (as used on broccoli or asparagus) over the stock knob. 73, Bob N7XY On Wed, Mar 02, 2005 at 08:10:02AM -0500, W3FPR - Don Wilhelm wrote: > Dave, > > If you are referring to the Yaesu FT-900 knob, you can find details on my > website www.qsl.net/w3fpr.

RE: [Elecraft] Rubber Knob for K2
Dave, If you are referring to the Yaesu FT-900 knob, you can find details on my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr. The smaller F-100 knob (with finger depression) is preferred by some folks, but the FT-900 knob is heavier and my preference. I have also seen the Yaesu rubber tire for the FT-900 knob installed over the stock K2 knob - it takes a small amount of stretching, but it works FB if you just want to get rid on the sharp outer edge of the stock knob. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > I would like information on obtaining the knob I have > seen on some > K2's.
