[Elecraft] can rf interference get into a k2?

I doubt it's the cover holes.  I've done some testing with the top and 
bottom covers off while interfacing my newly built K2 to a 1500W 
amplifier without any problems.  (QRP is fun, but sometimes...)

Is your problem band sensitive?  Is your antenna resonant?   I would 
suspect grounding problems.

Good luck!   73, Bill  N2BC
