Re: [Elecraft] K3 mobile

[Bob]

OK...  May I ask why? I have seen it done in commercial products and I recently did it when I was assembling my SoftRock receivers because of my concerns with the #30 wire breaking. The two reasons I might think of would be any detuning effect or fear of the material used attacking the wire insulation.  Any wisdom on this subject out there?    I did not see or am not aware of the Elecraft advisory. 73, Bob K2TK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have seen the use of dope, sealers and so on strongly discouraged by Elecraft. matt, W6NIA Oct 22, 2008 10:30:51 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are at least two ferrite core transformers in the K3 that are supported only by their thin wires. I'm concerned that they may not survive a mobile environment. It would take only a dab of RTV (silicone adhesive sealant) to secure them, but I don't know if this has been discusses or approved.
