[Elecraft] K3 speaker resonance problem

2008-06-30 Thread Allan Taylor
After a rather hectic month, I finally got my K3 on the air this
afternoon. (Worked by coincidence another K3: WA7VHO)).
But unfortunately my unit (from the kit) has a speaker resonance with
the cabinet at about 700 Hz or so. (Not good for a CW
op!)  As others may have had this problem, could they share the
likeliest screws to fuss with or case components to reposition
slightly?

I've seen N6XI tweak the resonance of his K3's speaker by slightly tightening 
or loosening one or more of the top screws that attach the speaker to the case.

Some have also added black tape to the top panel in the locations where
it comes into contact with certain areas of the chassis.
