The K1 uses the same cabinet design with 2D fasteners...but with countersunk screws. Either way, I also really like the enclosure design. The internal access for BOTH rigs is exceptional because of it. I don't hesitate to open either one of them up to check on something. With my TS-950S, except for getting the top cover off, I can't figure out how to access ANYTHING. My TS-430S has a lot of fold-out assemblies that make access possible for a normal ham, but I still dread having to get into it.

That would certainly look nice. What I do remember very vividly is being struck by the ingenious elegance of the whole 2D fastener idea. That a very good, solid case can be created with only 3 bends in the metal, and allow any of 6 (or seven) sides to be pulled independently of the other 5 (or 6). I'll take the screws sticking out any day. Engineering like that on the case gives a good hint at what's to go inside that case. If that's not a Wayne or Eric original idea, please hit CTRL-D. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 <snip> You know, those screws almost kept me from getting a K2 since I equated "sticking-out" screws with somebody's homebrew work. </snip> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
