[Elecraft] [K3] KRX3 mechanical alignment problem

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Toby,

We had a change in PCB vendors, and they slightly changed the location 
on some of the break-off points for the PCB handling frame on the KRX3 
board (used during automated soldering etc. ) Fortunately this is not a 
major issue. The other remaining 'nubs' from the break off part of the 
pcb still align with the remaining alignment holes on the KRX3 case. The 
ones that do not are not a problem.
