[Elecraft] K3 SUB AF - NOR or BALANCE?

[Paul Christensen]

Joe,

Although not as nice as a revised panel, I used a Brother P-Touch printer, 
using  white lettering on black tape.  The font and point size can be 
changed in the PC software to get pretty close to the lettering used on the 
K3.

Paul, W9AC
