[Elecraft] [KX3] Speaker Grille?

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

If you have the skills and where-with-all to glue your speaker grill 
cloth to the KX3 enclosure  (not the speaker) without creating a mess, 
then you have "the cure".  The original allowed the grill cloth to 
rattle against the speaker cone on some units and created distortion.

The concern for releasing this to the general public has to do with 
individual skills in handling glue on the enclosure speaker web holes - 
too much makes a mess, while too little is ineffective.

73,
Don W3FPR
