[Elecraft] RE: K2 case screw alteration

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

My objection to the round heads is that they pick up junk in the
slots, and that they scratch things next to the K2.  One of these
days, I'll do the countersink thing myself.  I've got the extended
side panels on one of my K2's, whoch are countersunk, and it does make
just a bit more "sociable".

   For those of you who have not been following the Elecraft Reflector for more
   than 5 years now, Doug's major objection to the K2 was the lack of
   countersunk screws.

   You note on this subject brought a smile of nostalgia to my face - apologies
   to those who may not understand.

   As was pointed out - beauty is on the eye of the beholder.  Each to his own!
