Yup, the nut on the MIC jack is definitely NOT 3/8". It's a 10mm metric. My SideKX Plates & Lexan cover are on the mail truck for delivery sometime this morning. My carrying case for the KX3 is a Pelican knock-off that I got from a surplus firm down in Florida and I originally had cut a piece of foam to cover the knobs & LCD, but with the handles & Lexan cover, I'll have a bit more room in the case (it's deep enough) to carry the microphone (which I seldom use, but carry anyway for emergencies), a 14 volt 3 amp (old flat screen monitor) power supply, small dummy load and connectors/adapters.
Anyone going to HamCom in Plano, TX next week can stop by the Elecraft booth if they want to see it. I'll have it on display there.
