[Elecraft] [KX3] Hardware

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Clint,

Nearly all of the KX3's hardware is already stainless steel. We knew the rig would get a lot of outdoor use in places with salt air and Mai-Tai's, both equally corrosive.

The thumbscrews are the only exception; they're steel-zinc, but plated, and we used them on earlier products with good results. Even these would go to stainless steel if it ever became an issue.
