[Elecraft] KX3 Power Socket

[Dominic Baines]

The power lead/barrel connector on the second #2334 KX3 is starting to 
intermittently drop out. Most notable if you remove the internal 
batteries and try and operate from a supply only. It seems it is the 
socket itself that is duff. Yes using the Elecraft power leads not 
something homebrewed.

I am thinking it might be worth removing the socket, fitting a couple of 
power poles on a pig tail, and a grommet where the original socket was.

Anyone else done anything similar?

A second wash with iso propyl alcohol and the KX3 I thought wind blown 
sand had killed (#1082) seems fine now... there was a lot of dirt/dust 
that had not previously been removed.
