Re: [Elecraft] KX2 front panel lettering disappearing
Just by way of an update to the screen printing disappearing, the UK dealer is going to replace the front panel of the KX2 for me. 73 Stephen, G4SJP On 20 February 2017 at 05:30, Augie "Gus" Hansen wrote: > > On 2/19/2017 1:42 PM, Stephen Prior wrote: > >> Before I take this up with the UK agent for Elecraft, I am curious as to >> whether anyone else has experienced the yellow lettering rubbing off, >> particularly at the bottom of the front panel?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 front panel lettering disappearing
Hi Stephen, We use epoxy ink for panel labeling, which is normally very robust. Our UK dealer should give you a replacement right away. If possible, we'd like to get the panel back for QA analysis. 73, Wayne N6KR On Feb 19, 2017, at 12:42 PM, Stephen Prior wrote: > Before I take this up with the UK agent for Elecraft, I am curious as to > whether anyone else has experienced the yellow lettering rubbing off, > particularly at the bottom of the front panel?

[Elecraft] KX2 front panel lettering disappearing
Before I take this up with the UK agent for Elecraft, I am curious as to whether anyone else has experienced the yellow lettering rubbing off, particularly at the bottom of the front panel? I have only had my KX2 for a couple of weeks and just had my first QSOs with it yesterday, so it's not had any prolonged treatment. It looks to me as if the lettering at the top of the panel is fine. White lettering seems much more robust. 73 Stephen, G4SJP __ 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
