[Elecraft] Accessing KX3 buttons when using Side KX

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

It all depends on how you depress the buttons - which fingers you use 
and what angle your fingers use to 'attack' the buttons.

Try a quick test - find boxes or books that are bout 3/4 inch above the 
front panel of the KX3 and set them at the ends of the enclosure.   Do 
you find it awkward to operate the buttons or not?

I personally find it difficult to operate the two pushbuttons used for 
power on/off, so I do not have the Side KX on mine.
However, the protection that Side KX offers for travel may trump any 
slight difficulties one may have operating the buttons.

73,
