K2 mic hole plugs FOUND!

[Lloyd Lachow]

 Thanks to Scott, N0AR, I've found a great-looking
plug for that unsightly 3/4" hole on the lower left of
my K2's front panel. It's manufactured by Heyco, and
it's #2683. It's molded nylon, with a matte surface,
and sits flat, as well as very securely. They're
available from Cable Components, Inc., at
http://www.cablecomponentsinc.com/ and the minimum
order is $10 - for $10.70, you could get 100. Maybe
the Wizards of Aptos could keep some on hand for
oddballs like me...???

Lloyd,

I found the same plug at our local (small town, one stoplight!)
hardware store in the fastener section...the area with all those
drawers and bins to look through! Mine was for another
application. Less than $0.40! And they do look very nice.

Lloyd,

I'm mostly a CW guy myself, and can understand why someone might not
want the mic jack. But this is only the second request for a mic-jack
hole cover I've heard in the five years the K2 has been around, so I
don't think we'll be stocking them.

I would suggest as an alternative to [symbolic protest? phon-o-phobia?]
that you install the mic jack, but just not use it for anything. If you
ever sell your K2, its resale will be higher if it is "whole"  ;).

73,
Wayne

You can also check electronic part distributors such as Mouser Electronics:
www.mouser.com

There is no minimum order required.

I am not familiar with the K2 mic hole but if it's a round hole, maybe
something
like Mouser part number 561-75BG11 or 561-M2683 will work.

Al.

He's afraid it might be mistaken for a Winlink hole!
