I cannot remember this ever being an issue with the K1 which uses similar screws, nor with the pan-head screws on the K2. The K1 is often used for portable backpack use where moisture could be an issue. This suggests that Elecraft could be supplying screws from an alternative vendor for the K3. As an alternative to the suggested stainless steel, are there any brass 100 degree countersunk screws available? If so, they could be less expensive. 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ------ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
