[TVARC] Elecraft K3 Side Panels

[Ray Fallen]

Good evening...

During the TVARC Ragchew Net tonight, I mentioned that I had installed new
side panels on my Electraft K3 today.

Every year for my birthday, I buy something for myself that I ordinarily
wouldn't spend money on.  This year being no exception, I made the purchase
from AK6Q, Scott Bastian, owner of GEMSPRODUCTS.COM.  Scott makes goodies
for the KX2 and I believe this is his first product for the K3.

The tab was around $60.00 including shipping and installation time was
about an hour.  The product is very well made and should supply some needed
additional protection for my K3 for its trip to PJ2T for CQ-WW-SSB this
fall.

There are a couple of "gotchas" you need to be aware of and the only
complaint I had was that Scott didn't include instructions with the package
or on his web site.

If you decide to order, I wrote up some install tips that I'll be happy to
share with you in a PDF file.

A photo of the installed, finished product is attached.
