[Elecraft] Unused back panel holes

[bscurlock]

David, I did exactly what Bob is suggesting, and I used one of the extra
ports to connect my small regulated power supply to keep the K2 internal
battery fully charged.  I use a 50A - 13.6 VDC power supply and battery
system to operate most of my station equipment including a repeater, but
13.6V will not keep the K2 battery charged.  So I built up a small regulated
supply powered by a "Wall-Wart" that operates at about 14.25V to float the
K2 battery.  You can probably come up with something for these ports to
enhance your station as well.

Why not plug them with appropriate connectors.
Seeing those idle connectors just sitting there
might give you some ideas for a useful mod :-)

Hi All,

Regarding the unused holes on the K2 back-panel.. I've been thinking about
plugging these with rubber plugs, as I think the holes/green tape looks a
little unsightly. I wonder if anyone has done this, and whether anyone knows
a source of plugs that are suitable and the correct size.

I'm specifically looking for the plugs for the 2 sets of XVTR holes, as all
the rest are soon to be filled in with accessories..

Cheers

David, Vk2NU
