I put over 500,000 miles on a K2 in a rough mobile environment (18 wheeler)
I have a K3 now, since January of this year, and spend about 90% of my time on
the highways and 10% bouncing up and down mountains going in and out of
Windmill sites. I have yet to have the K2 or K3 have ANY problems what so ever.
The radio's Will take the abuse, without any user mods are fixes.

I have seen it done in commercial products and I recently did it when I was
assembling
my SoftRock receivers because of my concerns with the #30 wire breaking.
The two reasons I might think of would be any detuning effect or fear of the
material used
attacking the wire insulation.
Any wisdom on this subject out there? I did not see or am not aware of the
Elecraft
advisory.

There are at least two ferrite core transformers in the K3 that are
supported only by their thin wires. I'm concerned that they may not
survive a mobile environment. It would take only a dab of RTV
(silicone adhesive sealant) to secure them, but I don't know if this
has been discusses or approved.
