[Elecraft] Rose's KX3 dust covers

[Don Wilhelm]

I saw one KX3 dust cover when I visited with Wayne Dec 16.  I can say 
that it fits the KX3 nicely and really looks good.
I usually keep my equipment open and "ready for use", but I think I will 
have to have one of Rose's covers for my KX3.  I am beginning to wonder 
whether I want any special "words" on it.

73,
