What's Included
Application & Installation
This control knob is a user-replaceable component designed for the IC-V8000 mobile transceiver's front panel controls. The knob typically controls functions such as volume or squelch depending on its position on the radio. To remove the old knob, pull firmly straight off the control shaft. For installation, align the D-shaped opening and positioning features visible on the bottom of the knob with the corresponding shaft and alignment pins on the radio, then press firmly until the knob seats completely against the radio's front panel or control surface. The multiple alignment features including the arrow-shaped tabs ensure the knob can only be installed in the correct orientation, preventing misalignment with any position indicators on the radio faceplate. The knurled outer edge provides excellent grip for smooth, precise control adjustments - particularly important in mobile installations where operation may occur while driving or in vehicles subject to vibration. Replacement is needed when the original knob becomes worn, damaged, cracked, or is lost. This is a simple repair that any radio owner can perform without tools or technical expertise, taking only seconds to complete.
