Recently I learned how important electrical contact at these screw points is. I had low speaker output and I thought the band conditions were the reason. I noticed at some point that in picking the K2 up from the left side, the volume increased and the leftmost LED on the signal strength meter disappeared. I removed the bottom panel and on screwing it back with power applied, turning the screw created electrical noise. I worked it back and forth until the noise disappeared and now the K2 is much more sensitive and louder. With no other K2 to compare, I hadn't realised there was a problem.
