Even easier: Why not just get a screw-on UHF connector cap? Fits perfectly, and it's the best "mike connector protector" ever - it makes sure a mike is never attached to my K2 so it can be used only for CW... :))))
(sorry couldn't resist. No disrespect intended towards other modes) Seriously, the cap is a perfect fit. I can't remember where I got mine but it was likely from a Diamond Antenna mobile mount, and I suspect you can find them elsewhere. If you can't, I will mai you one of my spares. Here's a photo of it "in action" http://maineware.net/k2 And sadly, the K2 is for sale... but it just doesn't see any use now that I have a KX3 / K3 pair. 73, --Andrew, NV1B ..
