[Elecraft] Simplest ever mod for K2 will also work on KX3

[Arno Dienhart]

Ron, 
The salient part can be seen at the very end of this post. Sorry if I cut
off too much information.

It was from George, who said he just did his KX3 with no problems, to later
elaborate how he did it: " Removed the Knob. Then removed 5 screws. Ran my
black marker around the outer edge 3 times. Set in place and redo 5 screws.
Replace knob adjusting it against the felt washer for my desired feel. Less
than 10 minutes.  72 George/W2BPI"

This appears to be done with an assembled KX3. Maybe George can confirm
this. If it is so, Ron, could it be that there is actually no risk to do it
this way, or was George just lucky?

Thank you, and I am holding off with it until it is clarified.

73,
Arno K7RNO

??? No idea who you are responding to without including the salient part of
his note but if it was Bruce, he is entirely correct IF you have a kit that
has not been assembled. 

I was assuming that you had an assembled kit since you were concerned about
what the screws mated with inside the KX3. 

I wrote the KX3 kit assembly manual and there may be some shortcuts one can
take. I was trying to be complete for those who might have a
factory=assembled unit.

Yours sounds a lot easier than what Ron advises. How did you do yours?
