[Elecraft] K2 rear panel 12VDC hole size? -- followup

[Dave Benham]

Thanks, everyone.

It looks like the more recent K2's have an 11mm hole (mine is 9mm) and that
the main issue here is alignment of that hole with the jack on the circuit
board.  I can see that my jack is not concentric with the panel hole.

I should have mentioned that I'm using an Elecraft power plug, not a cheapo
from a swap or RS.  The outside diameter of the collar or barrel on the
Elecraft plug is 9.64mm so there's no way it will fully seat on the power
jack -- the panel hole is too small and it's off center.  (In my business we
call that "winking").

It sure seems that if the K2 has an Achilles heel, that this is it.
