[Elecraft] K3/100 kit

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It's a commonly known problem for NiZn ferrites. Whether a mag mount 
antenna yields sufficient field to cause the problem is a different 
question.

---------------------

Exactly Jack. You know that when working on equipment it's essential to be
able to tell what's important from what's not. Building, fixing and just
tinkering with gear, that's probably one of the most difficult lesson most
Hams have to learn, whether it's deciding how many digits on a DMM are
important or what tools to use. 

I wouldn't want anyone with an Elecraft rig to worry about using a
magnetized screwdriver or a small magnet on a wand to make working on it
easier. The real danger is leaving loose hardware floating around inside the
rig.

I don't know NiZn ferrites particularly, but I know you can shatter a common
ferrite or powdered iron core with a magnet. But it's not a magnet a human
can pick up or move about very easily.
