This was discussed in depth a while back, but I though I'd report my
experience.
I took my K3 to Niue and Norfolk Island for a couple of weeks each in
their spring. In both cases, we were high over the ocean, not close but
it was visible, and humidity was often high.
My K3 now has a dozen screws that now have rusty heads- the 8 fan
mounting screws and the 4 speaker mounting screws. I have the SS screw
kit in hand, but haven't gotten to installing them.
I also had a minor KAT3 failure, I think due to the amount of
transportation, about which I'll report later.
73, doug
