[Elecraft] K2 Microphone Jack Grounding

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Do it - it certainly will harm nothing even if it does not cure any problem.
It can be done without disassembling the front panel - remove the left 
side panel, scrape a bit of the solder mask off the ground plane next to 
the microphone jack and solder an 'L' shaped wire to both the mic jack 
and the ground plane.  It takes a lot of heat (and more time than a 
normal connection) to make the solder flow, so use a higher temperature 
on your soldering station or pull out the 'big gun' for this task
