[Elecraft] K1 crystal grounding

I'm currently building the K1. When I built a K2 a few yers ago, there was an errata sheet or a builder alert, etc. advising that crystal grounding should be done near the bottom of the crystal can as opposed to the top of the can. I can't seem to find similar advice for the K1. I've already in

Arthur, The scan function on my K2 is not at all useful , it will not stop scanning and hold unless a signal is very strong, about S 7 to S 8, and if it does hold the 'hold time' is only a few seconds. One reason for missing weaker signals that I can think of is that the scan rate in my K2 is

Just change the frequency first, and then set the desired mode. The radio (whatever it's make or logic) will do what the programmer (operator) wants. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 Kenwood protocol predates the per-band memories that modern radios have, I.e the radio saves the mode and frequency you were

Ken, The paint is tough - it is a powder coating. I would say that if the inside of the countersink area were scratched by the screw, either the screw was overtightened or the screwhead had a slight burr on it. I really cannnot conceive of a condition where the scraped paint area would show
