Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Hardware

2014-07-17 Thread Wayne Burdick
Hi Clint,

Nearly all of the KX3's hardware is already stainless steel. We knew the rig 
would get a lot of outdoor use in places with salt air and Mai-Tai's, both 
equally corrosive.

The thumbscrews are the only exception; they're steel-zinc, but plated, and we 
used them on earlier products with good results. Even these would go to 
stainless steel if it ever became an issue.

Hi Clint,

I am considering offering a stainless steel hardware kit for the KX3 via
http://www.unpcbs.com/ and just found your post in the Reflector archives.
Can you bring me up to speed on the subject?
