I know that these knobs and the retainer inserts are no longer available from Motorola, but does anyone have one lying around or know where I could get one?
Thanks,

I might need to rescind my previous comment, after W8RMH's question. I did a quick Google search, and it appears that there is a different knob, which is called the FDNY knob. It is much taller, and has a flared-out portion near the top. (It looks like it would be much easier to operate the power/volume control, while wearing gloves, or with the radio in the radio pocket most turnout gear has.)
the ebay auction is not it This knob is taller and has raised ridges. I have one on my VHF XTS5000 Model III. It is much easier to feel with gloves on . Its not just a looks cooler thing.
I would just keep calling different /\/\ Dealers because it wasn't just an FDNY thing.... Hell, most of the time the knobs would fall off and the smaller knob would be used, so it shouldn't really matter...
