Overview
The Garmin 010-12697-01 is a replacement channel-change knob for the GHS 11/11i wired VHF handset. It restores the rotary control used to scroll channels on your compatible radio, which matters when you are calling a bridge, switching to a working channel, or making quick changes while underway.
This is a small service part and it does not add any electronics or programming. Packaged size is about 1 in x 1 in x 1 in, with an approximate shipping weight of 0.1 lb.
Key features
- Replacement channel-change knob for Garmin GHS 11 and GHS 11i wired VHF handsets
- Restores normal channel selection when the original knob is worn, loose, or missing
- Small spare part that is easy to keep onboard for quick fixes between trips
- Packaged size about 1 in x 1 in x 1 in, with an approximate shipping weight of 0.1 lb

Compatibility and fit
Fits the Garmin GHS 11 wired VHF handset and the GHS 11i variant. Confirm the handset model marking before ordering, especially if your boat has multiple handsets or a mix of accessories.
This part is for the handset channel-change control and not for volume, squelch, or other knobs on the radio body.
Installation and setup
This knob replaces the channel-change knob on the handset. Once installed in place of the original, the channel selector turns normally again so you can make quick adjustments from the helm.
On-board use
Handsets get handled with wet hands and gloves, and they live in the cockpit where spray and sun are common. Keeping a spare knob onboard can help you get your VHF control back without swapping the whole handset.
Maintenance and care
After salty days, a quick fresh-water rinse around the handset controls helps keep grit out of moving parts. Skip harsh solvents and aggressive cleaners on the knob area.
