  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.
