[Elecraft] K3 TAPE ON DISPLAY

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Unlike the K2, the LCD is pre-mounted on the front panel board and ready for
mounting in the front panel assembly as described in the kit assembly
manual. 

The last front panel board I received "in the bag" as it would be packaged
in a kit was late last year. It had no tape on the display.

Mike,

It sounds like you could be a good test candidate.  It is no more 
trouble to disassemble and remove it now than it will be later - why 
don't you see what happens over time and remove it if and when it 
becomes a problem.

I do recall seeing something about a film being removed at Aptos because 
it was causing confusion among some builders, but I can't remember which 
film - so there may be no film on yours after all - but my memory may be 
faulty too.
