I bought a used K3 and found that the lower right screw that holds the KXV3t against the rear chassis had fallen out during shipping. I took it apart and found the lock washer and nut. Figure 10 in the manual shows that there should be a spacer attached to the KXV3. The space is there on the top left mounting hole, but not the lower right one. There is no evidence that it was ever one soldered to it. My concerns are
1) Is the space still somewhere in side the radio causing very bad things when I power it up. 2) Without this spacer the KXV3 starts to flex if tightened to much an the KXV3 may short against .the rear plate. If not tightened enough it will vibrate loose again. Can anyone confirm that this spacer should have been on both mounting wholes ? Here is a link to pics of each mounting hole. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ANLmO2vBrPixiTQ 73 Mike Stokes KK9V ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
