Eric,

I've complained to support at elecraft about the poor quality of the PCB
cutting as well. Not only do I have the same problem as Toby, but I also
had to trim the LPA board so that it would fit.

For the KRX3, What is your suggested solution -- push in the board by
force, or remove the misaligned "nubs" ?
(I went for a) given I had the board already half in, but the problem I
have is a "hash" when turning the VFO knob, which could be shielding
issues....

Mario
