Knut, On the K2, you may access the mic jack by removing only the left side panel,but on the K3, I believe you must remove the front panel assembly to gain access to the base of the mic jack - you do not have to remove the front panel from its metal enclosure, nor do you need to remove the DSP board.
If you look at K3_Application_Note_Front_Panel_Microphone_Grounding.pdf on the Elecraft website, you can see how to gain access. Lok carefully at Figure 4 on page 2, and you will see that the microphone jack shell is grounded by a wire in the K3. That wire provides the grounding that I mentioned, however it does not provide mechanical stability for the mic jack shell (which is not important IMHO, but may ba a "problem" to some other folks). Soldering the shell to the ground plane will provide the "lack of wobble" that some may desire. 73, Don W3FPR ab2tc wrote: > I might want to do that.
