[Elecraft] KPA100 stripped screw threads -- solution

[Wayne Burdick]

We have a solution for this already in the works.

The hole in the K2's side panel, as well as the grooved channel in the
KPA100 heat sink, will accept a #5-40 TapTite screw. The #5 body is
slightly larger than #4, has a slight taper at the tip, and provides a
much better "bite" into the heat sink. (By the way, the side panel
screws are not required electrically or thermally, so if they're
stripped, it will not affect operation of the K2 at high power.)

We have these new screws on order and will make them available as soon
as possible--probably about 3 weeks.


**** PLEASE NOTE! ****

We ask that you DO NOT call or e-mail Elecraft support about this yet.
This will just slow Scott and Gary down on other tasks. When we've
gotten the new screws in, we'll provide a way to obtain them directly
from our web site. Watch for this announcement.
