[Elecraft] K3s Odd sound vibrations Edit - Hypothesis, Steps, Conclusion, and Request.

[nr4c]

I'm sorry you lost your "Warm, Fuzzy" feeling for Elecraft.  But, in 
all due respect, this is the first time I've heard this issue come up.  
So, if it is not an issue for the other ~11,000 owners, how is it that 
they should have a "ready fix" for the unusual example?

Loose screws, speaker fastening not being solid, speaker shield, 
missing foam pad under speaker over KXRX3: all of these have been 
addressed, but I don't remember the center stiffener being the culprit 
before.  You have now added another item in the list, but the entire 
list is the result of people like yourself, tirelessly tracking done the 
source of some anomaly and reporting it to the support staff.  I feel 
certain that if this was seen as a potential problem, it would have been 
addressed long before now.  There are a lot of K3 and K3S radios out in 
the world and "Stuff happens".

I hope in the end, that you will like your radio as much as I like my 
two.
