Quick question, as I have been unable to find any info on the net. On the Motorola HT1000, what diameter are the shafts for volume and channel control? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I don't know what size they are, but my friend just bought some for his 6 radios. They were only a few bucks each.

They are not round. The knobs have a D shaped hole larger than the size of the control shaft so that a spring steel retainer fits in to grip the shaft. So do you need the shaft size or the hole in the knob size. I'll measure one for you, but I need to know which one.

Shaft diameter:
Volume: 9/64", or 0.14", or 3.50mm
Channel: 1/8", or 0.125", or 3.21mm
This is from an old worn HT1000 I have. It should get you close enough, though. As JHooten says, they do have a flat on them to key the knob to the shaft.
Disclaimer: I'm not a machinist, so my tools have limited accuracy. +/- 0.001 inches or +/- 0.02mm. If you need tighter specs, you'll need to rely on one of these other guys to provide them.

Those are the shaft diameter? If so, that's perfect. Yes, they are D shaped, I just needed the correct diameter so I can find the size I need for sale. HT knobs won't work but the shaft size is the same as what I'm working on.

Yes, shaft diameter.
