Tnx for tip on non skid material, Don. And tnx to you, Tree for the
response you sent earlier. I have really enjoyed your earlier posts.
There is another source of non skid matl other than the grocery store stuff
and it might even be better. I find it at WalMart in the RVcamping section,
in the form of a roll. It is very sticky, and more "rubbery" than the shelf
liner material I have seen in grocery stores. The RV kind is specifically
designed to prevent things from slipping while travelling. I have seen it
in blue and tan colors. The RV type is what I use under paddles. Another
possibility is tool box liner material, sold by Sears in the automobile/tool
dept, but it is not as sticky as the RV.
Tnx again and 73

Subject: Non-skid Radios
This won't be news to many but perhaps some of us did not know how useful
the non-skid mats are that you can buy in any grocery store. These mats
are made of a rubbery substance that, when placed under something like a
light weight radio or a bug or paddle, keep it from moving. It is very
handy stuff and very cheap as well.

2. This radio is TOO LIGHT. When I try to push the band change button,
it tries to move on the table. Wayne sent me some stickier rubber feet
and this has helped. I am trying to convince them to develop an
accessory called KBA3 - which are covers made out of lead and will
increase the weight of the radio from 8 pounds to a more studly 24
pounds. (BA stands for Boat Anchor). Maybe the upcoming KPAKW3
option will add enough weight and make this unnecessary.
