I did a little test in which I held my soldering gun which contains a 
transformer about 30 cm above the unmodified K2, at which point I heard 
a distinct modulation.  After the modification it could be 5 cm away 
before I heard it.  It definitely made a big difference.

Of course it would be best to have the K2 on the side of the AL80 that 
is away from the transformer and fan motor.

Also, I did not find it hard to adjust the voltage by squeezing the 
turns on the core.
