Good news regarding the interference between the 73CNC replacement tuning
knob and the SideKX cover.  Per Mike NT8O at 73CNC a new lower cost version
of their finger dimple spinner tuning knob is in the works that will clear
the SideKX.  He is forecasting a release date of Dayton 2014.

Re: [Elecraft] SideKX

2013-10-10 Thread Dave
My Side KX arrived today, within minutes the side panels were replaced and 
the perspex cover snapped into place.


I'll add my support for this add-on as well.  Promptly dispatched after 
order, arrived safely and I'm now happier to put the KX3 in with my 'stuff' 
when I am away on holiday or with work, which may well be in the next couple 
of weeks as there's a meeting down in Burgess Hill arranged for a couple of 
weeks time and I may well now take the KX3 and a simple antenna away with me 
to see how it performs.


Highly recommended if you have or are thinking of buying a KX3 with the 
intention of lugging it round in suitcases and perhaps balancing it on 
places where it might fall over, this option will give you peace of mind 
that the knobs will be protected and the cover will keep the dust off untill 
you are ready to go on the air.  If you didn't know that it was an add on, 
you'd think the radio was designed with the replacement panels and perspex 
cover because they fit so well together.

I have it too and I like it.  Only caution - when you remove the cover 
carefully remove it straight up and not lift up on one side.  The is a risk of 
putting a lot of lateral force on the side buttons.  Pulling straight up 
ensures, the cover does not apply any side force on the buttons while being 
removed. Perhaps - Scott can tweak the design so this is not possible.  A quick 
fix is to relieve the middle portion of the cover at the ends.

Re: [Elecraft] SideKX

2013-10-09 Thread KENT TRIMBLE

Another tweak would also be nice . . .

Either of two modifications would be nice when the main KX3 VFO knob has 
been replaced with the 73CNC weighted tuning knob 
(http://www.73cnc.com/product_p/kx3deluxe.htm).  I am assuming both the 
SideKX and the 73CNC people will look to the other to make the necessary 
correction, so in the end probably nothing will end up happening.


The problem is that the 73CNC weighted tuning knob, while an exact 
duplicate of the stock KX3 knob, ends up being a silly little 
millimeter taller than necessary to clear the plastic cover.  The curve 
of the cover is just enough lower that itcannot snap cleanly onto the 
KX3. While barely managing to clear therow of buttons, it DOES put those 
buttons at risk.


One can live with it if one is carefulwhenplacing the cover on the 
radio, but the cover cannot completely snap in place with the 73CNC knob 
installed.


It should be noted, however, that the 73CNC weighted knob was machined 
to be an exact duplicate of the KX3 knob, which it is, and is 
beautifully done.Clearly, 73CNC was unaware of the SideKX cover when the 
weighted knob was being designed.Perhaps likewise for the SideKX 
people.  In any event, it's neither manufacture's fault.  But a 
tallercover would be nice and probably the easiest to remedy.

[Elecraft] SideKX Panel and cover for KX3

2013-06-05 Thread Dick, WN3R
This has to be one the very best accessories ever made for a radio. After 
seeing the KX3, I thought it could become the ONE radio Ecomm groups could 
standardize on if it were hardened in some way.

Scott, AK6Q, did it.  His website is www.gemsproducts.com

In typical ham style, I didn't read the instructions. I simply loosened the 
four thumb turn screws, removed the 4 small Phillips screws, took the nut off 
the mic connector, and replaced the panels. It took just a few minutes. After 
reading the instructions, I see I did it all wrong, but still with a good 
result. I never opened the radio.

There were instructions?  I thought that paper was to keep the side 
panels from scratching each other ;)


It only took mere minutes to install the side plates.  The cover keeps 
me from scratching the display or tweaking knobs when I put the radio 
in the backpack.  The Lexan is a little thinner than I would have 
thoughtbut it is Lexan and I doubt I'll ever break it.  Nice to 
see the plates were ground to metal at all the appropriate places 
instead of me having to do it myself.


To be honest...I think Elecraft should buy Scott out and ship new 
KX3's from the factory this way.

I think, there is no need to buy Scott out. Elecraft could just co-operate

do it with Buddipole. That would be very convenient for all the parties

I would also buy front cover for my K3 if Scott would ever design and make

Re: [Elecraft] SideKX Panel and cover for KX3

2013-06-05 Thread Rick Bates
I would like to move the entire K line as a complete already assembled
package.  (I can use another radio for my remote operations.)  

I'd like to see a GOTA/travel case for the entire K line that has the
following features:

It must be RUGGED!
Nice appearance during use
Allows protected safe movement of the ENTIRE station as a single unit
Room for accessories (SLUSB for example)
Extra space used for 'stuff' during shipping (change of clothes?)
Has complete secure (lockable) covering during movement
Allows for excellent cooling during operation (take the entire back off?)
No set up once moved; simply connect power, laptop and antennas, it's done

Basically a nice box (XYL approved), remove the front and rear covers for
radio use and secure enough that you would be comfortable for the airline
gorillas to toss underhand.  Besides for flying to a new location, it would
make my station much easier to move into the RV.  It doesn't have to be a
tower, a cube would be fine, as long as I don't have to (un)assemble the
wires (too many, makes it a pain to move).

Keeping the price under a few hundred $US would be a great bonus too.

Subject: [Elecraft] SideKX Panel and cover for KX3

This has to be one the very best accessories ever made for a radio. After
seeing the KX3, I thought it could become the ONE radio Ecomm groups could
standardize on if it were hardened in some way.

Scott, AK6Q, did it.  His website is www.gemsproducts.com

In typical ham style, I didn't read the instructions. I simply loosened the
four thumb turn screws, removed the 4 small Phillips screws, took the nut
off the mic connector, and replaced the panels. It took just a few minutes.
After reading the instructions, I see I did it all wrong, but still with a
good result. I never opened the radio.

I don't own a KX3 but I'm almost tempted to buy one just so I could install 
these pieces. Well done, Scott!

Re: [Elecraft] SideKX Panel and cover for KX3

I just installed the SideKX yesterday and agree they are very useful and a
great addition to the KX3 - what a nice design!  Only minor nit is that the
silk screened letters on the left panel are not of the same quality that the
original Elecraft panel.  Nothing awful, but something that Scott might take
a look at.
