Elecraft must be having a good sales month if Roger bought his K3 (s/n 46xx) earlier this month and I just bought mine at last weekend's ARRL Southwestern Div Convention (s/n 47xx) and the month even isn't over yet. Congratulations Eric & staff. I am just starting my assembly and will look for this audio board issue. I'd also like to see everything well supported inside because I plan to transport my K3 from time to time and don't want any intermittent problems. The first I found was the toroids in my KAT3 came bent over, especially L8. When I carefully straightened all of them I noticed L8 had to be lifted more than 1/8" above the others to snug up the last wraps of wire on it. Dale Farmer indicated that this is nothing to be concerned about however I'd be more comfortable if the toroids were supported more. Maybe a dab of silicone sealant below each? Any suggestions? Gary

It worked perfectly on completion from the kit earlier this month. Today I noticed the Audio I/O daughter board E850236 does have some vertical play in the rear panel after mic and earphone plugs are inserted and there is additional leverage from the plug bodies themselves. It looks like this would be normal since I see no rear securing hardware for the installed board. Is that right? The digital I/O board is, of course secured by the RS-232 connectors to the back panel. maybe some short plastic sleeves around the jacks would help. Thought I remember seeing something about this but I didn't find anything in the reflector archives, but maybe I didn't search for the right terms.
