[Elecraft] [KX3] Case Doesn't Close Quite "Right"

[Joel Black]

I've had my KX3 for a while now and I noticed the other day that where 
the bottom of the two halve meet up, there appears to be... Well, I'm 
not sure how to describe it.

Near the speaker, it appears the two halves don't meet up as well as at 
the ends. If you look at the top half of the enclosure, it is beveled 
and slides *inside* the bottom half. At either end, they mate up well. 
Near the speaker, there appears to be a 3 - 4 mm gap where it doesn't 
appear to meet up as well. Am I describing that in a way that *anyone* 
understands?

If it's normal, I'm good with that. However, if there's something I 
should check, I will. I have looked at the ribbon cable and it is folded 
the correct way. It is not pinched and the connectors seem to be fully 
seated. Maybe I'm mashing (Southern term) the ends together too far, but 
if I don't do that, the bottom of the sides and the bottom half of the 
enclosure don't meet up "properly."

I don't remember if I tried to "mate" the two halves without the 
batteries inside the radio.

If needed, I can send pictures.
