I got tired of reaching around the mic plug on the front panel, so I made an adapter to plug mic and PTT into the rear. Then I got tired of seeing the empty mic socket. I found a perfect way to hide it, and seal if from intrusion. It looks real fine!
I used one of these black vinyl cover caps made for SO-239 connectors: http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=1159&PLID=16&SecID=127&DeptID=36&PartNo=DXE%2DVC%2D0612 You need to cut a cap shorter. Slip it over a wooden rod. Using a sharp blade, cut around the cap to make it half the original depth. Now fold it part-way back to stretch it, and it will snap tightly over the mic socket. You CW-only guys should really like this.
