[Elecraft] K3: concern about flexing FP board

[Don Rasmussen]

Check your construction Doug - parts alignment is
tight and crtical, there is no room on my unit for any
such flex... 

Also - there are differing sized standoffs on that FP
board.

All key caps should protrude evenly about 1/16th inch.

[Elecraft] K3: concern about flexing FP board

I'm wondering if I left something out or what.....

When tap the VFO A/B button on the front panel, the
entire top row of
buttons also moves ( keypad numbers 1, 2, 3, V>M,
M>V).  You can see
it "pivoting" at the anchor point near the right-hand
side.  Is this a
potential for a future failure?

I'd like to see an extra "brace" or two behind (or
near) the VFO A/B
button to make the whole thing more stable.  All this
flexing cannot
be a good thing.

Anyone else notice this?

Comments?

and no, I am not crunching the button...just tapping
it moves everything.
