My K3 hasn't traveled much, but if it did, I'd be very concerned about
all the inductors supported only by their leads. It seems certain that
vibration would result in leads breaking. However, there's a note in
the KX-1 assembly manual specifically warning against fastening the
inductors to the board with adhesive. (That's exactly what I was
planning to do.) Why not? I doubt the reason is electrical, unless
it's stray capacitance. The only other reason I can think of is that
those handling power might get hot enough to melt an adhesive. If
that's the case, I'd really like to find another way to secure them.
Any suggestions?
Or maybe someone can assure me that with all those K3 getting shipped
all over the planet for DX-peditions, etc., none of those wires ever
break. Ever. (I'd still take along some magnet wire.)
