I got some stuff at Lowe's made by DAP. It is called Blue Stick. I
took a small amount and rolled it into a ball then stuck it to each
foot. I can now press the power button and jack in and out the
headphones without chasing my radio around the shelf. Thanks for all
the advice.

Perhaps a firmware enhancement to adjust the weighting...

There was discussion earlier about advantages of a KX3 v a K3. Even
though the KX3 is much lighter, it shouldn't slide when pressing
buttons, since it is mostly a vertical press. I will, however, need
to wait until I acquire one to verify the advantage.

Yep, but do I drink it and not care that the radio is crooked or put it
on the feet? Just kidding. :) Thanks for all the suggestions. I've
used the rubber mat in my toolbox. I just never thought of it for my radio.

I've used a small square of double sided tape under each foot.

How would I go about making the feet on the K3 stickier? I don't want
them *stuck* to the shelf my radio sits on, but if I bump it or try to
plug something in, I chase it around the shelf. Is there something I
can use to make it just a tad stickier?
Thanks,

Line your shelves with that stuff they sell to keep carpets from sliding
around. Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Very thin, cuts with a scissor, has a
waffle design. Works for me.

Just a TAD stickier -- clean the feet, they probably have accumulated
some dust and that makes them slippery.
If you need more than a tad, look at some of the anti-slide shelf
lining that is used in RVs.

I've had no problem with the K3 feet on my shelves but those shelves may
have different surface stickiness than yours. When I have problems with
other devices moving around (mainly paddles), I put rubber kitchen cabinet
shelf liner under them. It's very soft and doesn't slip.

Double what Don said. I find the sticky factor wears off over time, and the
solution is to simply take a (slightly) damp cloth and wipe down the feet
and the shelf they sit on.

I used that stuff to keep my key from sliding so easily on the desktop.
Cut little circles out of the stuff and glued them under each foot pad with a
tiny dab of rubber cement
so I could peel them off later if needed. Works pretty well, they key stays
put a lot better.

Fun Tack!
A little dab under each foot and it's not going anywhere but it can easily be
cleaned off.
I use when I had my P3 on top of my K3, worked like a champ and everything
cleaned nicely when I moved it.
Also keeps all those DXCC framed certificates from tilting around on your wall..
Back in the old days, I used to use rubber cement to glue the bug to the
table!
Worked great.
Now, with my paddles, I just use that shelf liner stuff. Works great too.
OK, back in my hole,
