I just did the mod on my K2's in an effort to remove RFI from the audio. It is much easier to just remove the left side panel. That gets you enough access to the mic connector and the ground loop without the trouble of pulling the whole front panel apart. I did not wrap the wire all the way around the connector, just soldering it seemed secure enough.

RE: [Elecraft] Grounding mic connector body on K2 front panel board
Charlie, The mod is not difficult - remove the front panel and separate the board from the dress panel. Then wrap a bare wire around the threads of the mic connector, twist it tight, and run one end over to the ground loop on the left end of the board - solder the wire to the mic connector body (requires a LOT of heat - dwell with the iron until the connector body itself melts the solder) and solder the other end to the ground loop. Reassemble the front panel - Done. The original write-up by Wayne N6KR should be somewhere in the archives, I believe back in 2000 or 2001. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > Somewhere I saw a recommended mod to ground the front panel mic connector > body.
