[Elecraft] SideKX Panel and cover for KX3

[Lee Stephens]

There were instructions?  I thought that paper was to keep the side 
panels from scratching each other ;)

It only took mere minutes to install the side plates.  The cover keeps 
me from scratching the display or tweaking knobs when I put the radio 
in the backpack.  The Lexan is a little thinner than I would have 
thought....but it is Lexan and I doubt I'll ever break it.  Nice to 
see the plates were ground to metal at all the appropriate places 
instead of me having to do it myself.

To be honest...I think Elecraft should buy Scott out and ship new 
KX3's from the factory this way.
