I just put black tape across all the open holes from the inside. I figure it might also help with cooling (controlling where air enters and exits).

Last week , I posted a mail on this list , reporting a problem with my K2. Strange behaviour , sometimes loosing all the commands on the front pannel , sometimes loosing RX sensitivity , and recovering it by pushing band+ and band - , I even found the K2 in TX mod e, mode where it decided to go by itself. Today I opened the box , and immediatly found the problem origin : There is a unused RS232 connector hole in the rear pannel. A mouse entered by this hole and used the K2 as an high cost toilet. I took all the boards off the box and started to clean them. Tomorrow I will reassemble it , and I hope all the problems will be gone away. So U all K2 users , U should put the connectors in the options holes to avoid this pb. I suggest to the Elecraft crew a new kit: K2BUG: ultrasonic board to avoid mouses , spiders ect... :0) 73 Dom/F6DRO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
