I am more concerned about the amount you can wiggle the mic connector. It is not locked to the metal front panel so the whole rigidity comes from the PCB it is attached to. If you accidentally bashed the mic plug while moving something on the desktop it seems to me you could possibly damage the front panel board. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Board-Flex-tp16308053p16311580.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
