[Elecraft] Cover for front panel mic connector
Am now using K3 rear panel mic connector. Front panel mic connector has an unfinished look and is open to dust and other stuff. Does anyone know where possibly a knurled screw on cover may be obtained.

Re: [Elecraft] Cover for front panel mic connector
I cover the front mic connecters on my K3s with flexible SO-239 connector protectors (which often come with a new transceiver, amplifier, wattmeter, etc.) I have both red and black ones in my junkbox. Black looks best and works perfectly to cover the mic connector.

A portrait of FDR will give your K3 that extra All-American look. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I use one of the covers that Cushcraft provided with an antenna. It's got a little hole in it and it's a tad loose, but doesn't come off and blends in nicely. de K2GN - Larry - http://k2gn.com K3 S/N - 3278P3 S/N - (Ordered) -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Robert Kirkland Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 10:01 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Cover for front panel mic connector Am now using K3 rear panel mic connector.

Re: [Elecraft] Cover for front panel mic connector
I found a metal cover made to do just that. It was at a marine store and is used to keep unused jacks from getting corrosion in salt air. At least, I think that is what it is for. It has a gasket, and a small chain and ring that can be placed under a cabinet screw or removed. I got mine for my K2, since I don't have any need for the mic jack. The K2 didn't have a mic label, which, unfortunately, the K3 does. :-) 73, Rick Dettinger K7MW Am now using K3 rear panel mic connector.
