[Elecraft] K3: keyboard problems

2010-09-25 Thread Michael van Hauten
Hi Elecrafters, my new K3 #4739 is ready and works fine. Only one problem is the band switch. Switching the bands up by pressing the right side of the bandswitch works very well. But for switching the bands down you need a lot of pressure, so much that the K3 moves backwards on the table. Any so
