Glad it is working out for you. I admit my past suggestions were a bit lame and I apologize. I may have been having a migraine that day or something. 73, Bill, WD8JWJ -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Scratched-off-screen-printing-on-a-week-old-KX3-tp7598696

I just got a reply back from Elecraft and am very happy with the proposed solution. I'm just going to need to swap my SideKX end plate for the factory ones... 72, Joshua Gould K8WXA EM89pn KX3# 7465 On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 3:37 PM, Phil Wheeler wrote: > Yeah, G5RVs are vulnerable. I'm in the

I just “tested” the durability of the yellow paint on my KX3 # 5539. Pushed pretty hard with the edge of my fingernail and no way was that paint coming off. Bad paint job somehow slipped through. Elecraft will most certainly make good on it. Jim / W6JHB > On Tuesday, Feb 17, 2015, at Tuesda

The point is, of course, that the printing shouldn't come off quite so easily, especially on a 1 week old radio. The original poster has a valid concern. Minor to you, possibly, but the front panel printing on a transceiver shouldn't scrape off with a brush of the fingernail. 73, Scott, N9AA

You could place a small piece of Scotch tape over the remaining letters. Or go to the craft shop and buy some yellow paint and a super fine tip brush and touch up the letter. Find a label maker that can print a yellow TUNE and overlay a new TUNE. Or, just live with it. 73, Bill, WD8JWJ -- View t
