I've always thought that rigs like the KX1 with top-mounted controls are especially prone to this type of damage, with the controls spead out over a larger surface area. When the controls are all on a smaller end panel, it's easier to protect them. The KX1 needs a custom clamshell that can be snapped over the top. Personally, I hate top-mounted controls, regardless of how often they have been lauded (without any credible evidence) as "trail-friendly." I think the main reason for having top-mounted controls is that it's easier to attach the controls to the main PCB. 73, Mike / KK5F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
