Duncan,

AND, *my* K3 gets dust on the plastic covering the LCD display.  I 
really don't know why this has not been corrected by adding a sprayer 
and wipers to keep it clean.  After all, every auto in the US has such a 
device, it should not be difficult to add on the K3 as well to assure a 
clean display.  If the K3 is to be perfect, it should keep itself 
perfectly clean too.

73,
Don W3FPR
