What's Included
Application & Installation
This control knob is a simple user-replaceable component that requires no special tools or technical expertise. The knob pulls straight off the radio's control shaft when sufficient force is applied. For installation, align the D-shaped opening in the knob with the D-shaped control shaft on the radio, then press firmly until the knob seats completely against the radio housing or control surface. The D-shaped design ensures correct orientation and prevents the knob from slipping during operation. Replacement is typically needed when the original knob becomes worn, cracked, breaks off, or is lost. The ribbed exterior provides positive tactile feedback and easy operation even with wet or gloved hands - particularly important for marine and outdoor applications. This knob may serve different functions depending on the radio model - it could be used for volume control, squelch adjustment, channel selection, or other front-panel functions. Consult your radio's manual or parts diagram to confirm the specific function for your model. This is one of the simplest repairs any radio owner can perform, taking only seconds to complete.
