[Elecraft] [K3] KPA3 mounting screw

[Jay Bromley]

Hi Pete,
That is version "C" KPA3.  I commented on that and sent pictures to the 
support team a few weeks back.

Yes either they need to go back to the other design or just use an split 
washer instead of the inside tooth washer.

I choose to keep the inside tooth washers and just push it work all it was 
worth with my finger nail.  I got it stuck the first time and had to loosen 
the screw to free myself.  :-)

The old PA didn't have this problem as the trace was move closer to the edge 
of the board.
