David,
It is usually best to fan-fold the cable so it entirely tucks up into
the corner at the top of the control board - and do the same thing with
the speaker cable. Removing the right side panel to dress the cable is
the easiest way to accomplish the feat.
Keep the cables as far away from the KSB2 board as possible.

Removing the freq counter cable had no effect. Repositioning the ribbon
cable did help some, but the noise is still there. I tried positioning
the cable every way possible and found the most quite spot by routing it
back beneath the shield and then folding it sharply toward the front -
right above but not touching the crystals on KSB2. I taped the cable
to the shield at this spot. Without an antenna, the noise is still ~S2
(2 leds) on most bands. But with an antenna attached it disappears into
the band noise. So I suppose it's not too big a deal. But I'd still
like to get rid of the noise completely. I never noticed it with the
KIO2. I also changed the polling frequency to 1 second. That makes the
noise more or less insignificant. But now I have to look at the rig's
S-meter instead of the virtual one on the monitor. :)
Anyways, the K2 is working *great*. It a real joy to operate and the
receiver is simply fantastic. I'll be taking it on a DX vacation to
Bermuda the last week in July. I'm looking forward to finding out what
it's like to "BE" DX. :)
