I had considered either filing them off or drilling new holes in the metalwork. However, I'm glad I didn't as my K3/KRX3 was returned to Elecraft under warranty and I thought that making any changes might have invalidated the warranty.

The KRX3 did not go together well. There were some protrusions on the KRX3 that did not correspond to the holes in the metalwork. They caused the metalwork to distort. A manufacturing or design fault I presume.

Someone mentioned this recently, and Eric's response was that they had switched PCB suppliers and there was a issue that boards had 'pips' in the wrong places.

He advised filing these off, as there are enough in the correct locations to hold the board in place. It's important that the metal cover and shield box make good contact, so if you have one of these boards it's a good idea to do this.
