Yes, the extended side panels are a good alternative to some type of front cover. I have them for my K3 and K2. Mine were made by David Saylor (forgot the call) at www.saylorsmachine.com (select the link for capabilities). They are 1/4 inch thick, so will add some weight to the K3.
Hey...maybe Rose could make something that would slip over the front with a velco strap or elastic band for tightening. 73, Henry - K4TMC K3/100 #98 and K2/100 #3137 -----Original Message----- From: Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Jul 30, 2009 1:49 pm Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: machined concentric knobs from Mouser My plan was to use bits of Velcro to hold it on. Extended side panels would give more protection and a good way to hold them on, too. My K2's have extended side panels, thanks to someone on this list. 73, doug From: "Brett Howard" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:30:25 -0700 Admittedly I'd pay 30 to 35 bucks for a snap on front cover much like the newer Agilent oscilloscopes do today. I'm not sure it would be all that possible to snap on being that there are no snap features built into the rig itself at the moment. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
