[Elecraft] [K3] Problem w/front panel switches

[Fred Jensen]

Well Phil's problem isn't mine, and I'm not even sure I have a problem, 
but my K3 switches are a bit erratic.  They don't do things other than 
what they should do, they just don't always do it reliably.  Going to TX 
TEST, I'll often get a mode switch as if I tapped it instead.  Others 
are sort of the same.

I have a hard time keeping the radio stable on the shelf, it really 
isn't all that good for protection against gravity outages [like an 
SX-28 was :-)], and it does move.  I think I need to figure out how to 
get it really stable first.  Then we'll see.

73,
