Jim is having trouble posting to the reflector so he asked me to forward this for him.
73 Ron AC7AC --------------------------- From: Jim Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 3:30 PM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: Fwd: KX3! Howdy, Group. My KX3-k (at the time with all available options) w/S/N 2917, was purchased 11/21/2012 under S.O. No. 2255-6012-3699. I never noticed this little "fluke" before but now this morning, I did . It started to "rocking" when it was on a flat desk top. Nothing I could do would eliminate this "rocking". Upon further examination I found the L.H. Rear Foot was the culprit. I happened to have had one of the proper feet "in stock" so I then replaced the bad one with the one "in stock" and wahla ( - or however you spell it. ), all is well now. I even tried to bend this L.H. Foot but to no avail. I just thought I would ask the question here and see what response I'd get and see if anyone else has had or is having the same problem. While I have yall's attention; each of these rear feet requires a washer and Phillips Head nylon screw be installed in them. Well, I had to get a #2-56 Tap and "trace" the screw threads on both of both rear feet items before I could install the Nylon screws. I just thought I'd throw that in here so when someone contemplating purchasing a KX3-k got their kit they MAYBE could expect the same thing. This is the only snafu I encountered although I must say the toughest part of assembling my KX3 was installing the Speaker. Best 72 & 73. Jim........
