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.

I received mine today - I can fully recommend both the sides and the
cover. A quality job and looks like it was meant to be there in the first
place! Took about 5 minutes to fit.

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
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

the fine Elecraft tradition. Looks good, works well.

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
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
I think, there is no need to buy Scott out. Elecraft could just co-operate
with Scott and offer his product through their site. Similar to the way they
do it with Buddipole. That would be very convenient for all the parties
including customers.
I would also buy front cover for my K3 if Scott
I would like to move the entire K line as a complete already assembled

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

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
