Beware of the speaker magnet on the KX2

Elecraft mailing list
The other day I turned on my newly acquired KX2 (thanks Santa!) and found that the audio had a horrible buzzing noise. I started to assume the worst, but I didn't have time to troubleshoot it.
This morning, I turned on the rig and observed the buzzing again. I turned the rig over and started to laugh! A used staple was caught in the speaker grill. Once I removed the staple, the audio was perfect. This incident reminded me of my old BlackBerry. One day a paper clip was stuck to it. I had no idea how magnetic it was!
Bottom line...be careful of any loose, metal objects that may be under your KX2! :-)
