[Elecraft] Mic Conn. Protector!

[David Dietrich]

Hi Jim,

Easiest and cheapest would be to go to Radio Shack and get a mic connector, break it to get the collar, then fashion a small circle out of sheet metal to fit the opening in the collar. You can then leave it silver in color or paint it. Also, put a tab of electrical tape on the inside to prevent shorting pins.

I did exactly this on my K2 and it worked great! Also, sheet metal can also be used to fashion covers for unused options.

73,
