Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] KX3 screen protection

I buy I-pad  screen protectors, then cut to size..
I also use them on the roof of my car to protect the roof from scratches 
when I use a mag mount..

[Elecraft] KX3 screen protection

2015-08-11 Thread ab7r
Thought of this when replying to an eHam post.  Has anyone tried using a 
tablet/cell phone screen protector on the Plexiglas screen cover to keep it 
from being scratched when hiking or camping?  Seems like one tablet screen 
protector should give you a few applications if necessary.

Except you may have to clean off the 'sticky goop' from the tape.
I would think sliding the KX3 into an old sock or something similar 
would provide adequate protection while transporting it.

yes...and the side panels with folding cover are great too.  I was not 
referring to transport though...just a little extra protection when operating 
in the field (stumps, bouldersetc. :)  )

Be aware that most tapes such as shipping tape will generate many thousands
of volts due to ESD effects when the tape is pulled off the surface it is
stuck to.

Buy a piece large enough and cut to size.
