[Elecraft] KX2 plexiglass

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Dan,

Flip the bezel over when you reinstall it. This will compress the convex catenary side against the case, reducing the gap.

Note that at some point in the KX2's history we revised the bezel, moving the screw holes slightly outward. Customer support could help you determine if you have the older one, which is more likely to bow as you described. Free replacement on us if it's an issue.

Meanwhile, please relocate any live arthropods you find to a new home. Something fecund, preferably. We're in the midst of an insect apocalypse, you may have heard....

73,
Wayne
