[Elecraft] KX3 and deet

[Stuart Dunk]

Hi all

I know the deet thread has ended but nobody mentioned that deet melts some plastics.

KX3's have plastic knobs readout covers etc, and are hand held!!!!

Be careful !!
I melted the plastic on the back cover of a microphone while using it not long after applying a deet based repellent and not washing it off my hands

I looked at my hand and there was black stuff on it and the mic had my hand print in it (still HAS).

Nasty stuff  no wonder the bugs hate it , makes you wonder if it melts some plastic and bugs wont go near it  WHAT'S IT DOING TO US!!!!!

Cheers
