knob for the Yaesu FT-450 which fit perfectly on the K2 and cost $10. However,
the FT-450 tuning knob was a bit small so back to eBay (gota

If you park on your favorite frequency and yak, it may not be something
you value. But if you are a ham that TUNES the bands, the 73CNC knob
transforms the feel of the K2. It seems a bit much for a knob, but to
bring back some of the feel of the classic receivers I've used in the
past, it was
Well for the K3 either. I thought the price for the pair was totally nuts!
That was up until
I got to use one. Ordered a few days later with no regrets since either. Had
the original
all black ones. When the variety with the insert became available I replaced
the all black
with them.

I've been a happy user.

For those owners of newer K2s, be aware that the NEW K2 encoder (those
with a board soldered to the back of the encoder) has a larger shaft
diameter than the older K2 encoders.
I mention this as a way of warning newer K2 owners that the normal K2
knob may not fit your K2.
The new encoder
Don, do you know about what the serial number was when the encoder
changed?
Thanks.

I do not know the serial number, but it was above 7000 for certain.
If you built your K2, you should know because you would have had to
assemble the encoder board.
If you did not build it, take the top cover off and peer between the
front panel and the control board (maybe shine a light there
I built my K2, but it's number 4355 so I don't remember much about small

I've purchased knobs for my K2, K3, and KX3 from _www.73cnc.com_
(http://www.73cnc.com) .
They even modified a K2 knob to fit my K3 VFO B shaft. Much better than
the smaller VFO B knob!
And all my knobs have the ball bearing spinner dimples.
No connection with the company, just a happy camper.
