[Elecraft] KX3-Little issue closing the case

[Richard A. Robbins]

I have also had the same issue.  The main problem I believe is the speaker
wire.  In my case the heat shrink on the speaker wires was too long and
thick causing it to be very stiff.  This arrangement caused problems closing
the case and allowing the wires to be pulled from the connector.  After
trying to reroute the wires several times, I took the heat shrink off and
used electrical tape.  This allowed the wires to be more flexible and easier
to route.  Another area to check is the battery holders.  Make sure all the
screws are firmly seated.  If not it is possible that the battery holders
could be preventing the other half from closing all the way down.  I still
have occasional issues closing the case but at least now it is acceptable.
Hope this helps.
