Do most people who order the side panels also get the clear plastic cover?
I'm trying to decide what, or if I need them.
Bearing in mind that I'd saw a dime in half if I could spend it twice.
I buy C-128 laser cartridges for my printer and they come in a fairly tough
tubular bubble pack which just happens to be a perfect fit for the KX3, the
Comet CAA-500 analyzer, or a 15A MFJ power supply. Each one makes for a
package slightly smaller in diameter than a football (the brown pointed one,
not the black & white one). I don't do back-pack type operation, but they
work fine for carry on baggage or the car trunk.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Accessing KX3 buttons when using Side KX
Hi All,
I have the Side KX panels on my KX3, and it's really not a problem for me.
As has been pointed out, there are fairly large slots on both sides
through which you can access any of the buttons on either side row. I
suppose someone with especially large fingers might possibly have an
issue, but in that case (or anyway!) just use the opposite hand! It is no
problem at all accessing buttons on the left side with the right hand and
vice versa. By the way, the left panel also has the two buttons
identified that need to be pushed to turn the KX3 on or off. So, they
obviously thought about this when they designed the panels and determined
the slot size.
One nice thing about the panels is that their size (depth) does not extend
much beyond the main tuning knob. So, if you KX3 fit snugly in whatever
you were using for a case before, it probably will still fit with the
panels in place. I was slightly concerned about that when I ordered the
panels, as I had already selected a carrying case, but there was no
problem, before or after--and it is a nice, close fit.
Anyway, at worst I would say it is a minor concern.
