[Elecraft] Rusting screws

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Mike, thanks for bringing this up........

This is a problem that I thought that I would have here in Tropical North 
Queensland so I spent the extra few dollars and had my K3 built with the SS 
Screw kit by the factory.

I'm so glad I did, no unsightly rusty screws to be seen anywhere even though 
my gear lives in a moist tropical, seaside environment.

Now, if Elecraft would offer a similar SS Screw option for both the P3 and 
KPA500 (as well as the up and coming KAT500 and the KX3) then we'd all be on 
a winner.

How about it Wayne & Eric, we'd like SS screw kits for the P3, KPA500, 
KAT500 & KX3 please.
