Get a roll of 3M super strength moulding tape at your local auto parts or farm 
store. Comes in a red package. Two different widths. It's a grey double sided 
sticky tape and leaves no residue if you remove it. It's intended for sticking 
mouldings onto the sides of cars.
 I cut a little square of about 3/8 ths inch and put under at least the two 
front feet on the K line stuff to keep everything from moving. It's good for 
sticking an outlet strip to the desk, etc. Won't hurt the paint and can be 
removed by rolling it off with your finger. Do not use too much like a whole 
strip of it, because it'll take a large force to break a large strip loose from 
say sticking an outlet strip to a formica desk. A little dot here and there 
does it.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Problem w/front panel switches

Well Phil's problem isn't mine, and I'm not even sure I have a problem,
but my K3 switches are a bit erratic.  They don't do things other than
what they should do, they just don't always do it reliably.  Going to TX
TEST, I'll often get a mode switch as if I tapped it instead.  Others
are sort of the same.

I have a hard time keeping the radio stable on the shelf, it really
isn't all that good for protection against gravity outages [like an
SX-28 was :-)], and it does move.  I think I need to figure out how to
get it really stable first.  Then we'll see.
