[Elecraft] Fw: KX3!

[Dave Lankshear]

I'm not too clear on whether the rubber pad referred to is attached to the
case or to one of the fold-out legs.  Unless you sat on the KX3, I doubt if
a leg would bend, but it's pretty easy to dislodge a slip-on rubber foot and
then pushing it back on with a bit too much energy might alter the height it
sits at on the foot.  Again, a bit too much energy used pushing the foot
back over the leg might distort the rubber.  I suppose the leg's stop point
against the case could have been bent very slightly

 

I find that when I reach around the back to pull out a leg, I sometimes hook
the foot on the back of the case and give it a pull.  That could move it in
relation to the securing screws and cause a wobble.  Also, uneven tightness
of screws could cause a wobble.  I don't cut the nylon screws flush, I leave
them a bit proud, after checking that they wouldn't interfere with anything
on the RF board.  I run metal screws first through the holes that are to
have nylon screws fitted to them.  That does the trick without needing a
tap.

 

Glad you had spares to hand to sort it.
