[Elecraft] K1 Front panel board "Floats"

[Rich Lentz]

Well, after pressing the buttons several more times you have initiated =
my
OCD and now I must fix that "Problem."

Found some "3M" double sticky foam tape (about 3/32 thick), that you use =
for
holding things on to something, and cut off four very small squares (1/4 =
x
1/4) and put them at the upper corners and lower corners of the front =
panel.
Did not remove the tape from the side that goes against the D Blocks. =
These
compress slightly when assembled, and now there is no movement at all.

------------------
I have not finished the radio (I'm current aligning the xmiter), but =
have
noticed that the front panel sort of floats there.  When I push on the =
band
button, I can see the LCD move inward a bit.  It seems that all that =
holds
the front panel in place is the pot nut, but the pot is floating - only =
held
in place by the stiffness of the hookup wire.  Did I miss something in
construction?  Should I wedge a little something between the front board =
and
the front D blocks on each side (that the board just about touches)?

TIA
