[Elecraft] fix toroids in KX3

[Rooby]

Thans for the replies and experiences.
I have also seen broken wires on coils (not elecraft) which were not fixed
on the PCB. I was wondering about this when I was assembling the KX3 and
KXPA100.
Most electronic manufactures tighten their coils and even some capacitors
with silicone glue.
I don't think that some glue will affect the magnetic field since most of
the field is anyway inside the toroid.
It may change a bit the capacitance and resonant frequency.
I don't kow if elecraft just skip this extra efford or if there is some good
reason not to do.
I see some of the toroid coils are quite loosy and have small wires compared
to their mass.
Would be good to know if the warranty will be void if I fix at least some of
the coils with a bit of glue.
