It's always nice to see Lisa Jones on the return address of a
package. In my case, the package had the new synth and the
internal antenna tuner. I installed them together with no
problems, but I noticed that many of the screws on the outside
of the K3 were loose. I distinctly remember tightening all the
screws when I last had the top off, and the radio has mostly sat
on my operating desk, so outside of field day and a trip for the
California QSO party, it has experienced very little vibration
and other physical events which can loosen screws.
I suggest checking the screws every once in a while. It's
probably a good idea to check the internal ones as well, but I
already had the cover back on. Remember that tight screws are
needed to keep internal noise down.
If the radio is going to be used in a high vibration
environment, like a car, sealing the screws with Loctite might
be a good idea.
