Yes you should!
It will make a more robust counstruction if you accidential bumps the =
controls a little to hard.
And it will take some stress off the 3 pins when you travel with the =
radio and put it into schock and vibrations.
But that's pretty much all I think.
Have fun!
I do! Worked ZA/Z35M on 40meter QRP this evening.... Hurra!!! :-)
