After finishing my K1 a couple weeks ago there was one tiny thing
bugging me. There is a small gap between the front panel board and the
chassis fasteners so that when uppermost buttons are pushed, even
gently, I could see the display slightly pushing backwards. Not liking
how it took away from the otherwise solid feel of the rig, I looked for
something to fill the gap without overdoing it.
Luckily I had saved the leftover adhesive neoprene washer material for
the speaker in the KBT1 kit. It's just a touch bigger than the gap, so
I cut two small pieces and attached the adhesive side to the fasteners.
Now there's no flexing of the front panel board when pushed. It looks
better and is probably better structurally for the board as well.
Nothing major, just a 'for what it's worth' comment.
By the way, yesterday with an 80m long dipole I made a 100 mW qso on the
K1 here in southeastern Pennsylvania to a Rockmite in Maine!
