[Elecraft] P3 rubber button

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

That was not a correct price. He must have thought you were requesting 
something else. The rubber keypad is certainly much, much lower in price.

Note that removal of the old keypad and installation of the new one 
involves making sure all of the adhesive from the original keypad is 
removed from the pcb, and that the button surface contacts on the PC 
board are clean and free from contaminants, hand oils etc. We usually 
recommend this is done at the factory.

Please email howard(at)elecraft.com for the P3 keypad cost. I'll make 
sure I talk to him about this first.

73,
