Took my K3 along on vacation and this morning when I went to set it up
again at home the handle was loose on one end -- one of the nuts had
fallen off the bolt inside the case. So now the nut and washer are
floating around inside the case.
Anyone know if I can just take the side panel off to

Yes, removing the cover will give you access to both screws on the
handle. I just confirmed that, as the cover on mine is off :) I
have used my handle a lot over the last three years without any
incident. Probably just wasn't tightened properly the first time or
the lock washer was left
I can't think of a reason why you can't just take the side panel off, but it
might make a difference if you have a KRX3 or a KXV144 inside, which I
don't.
Yours is the first post I can recall reporting this. If you are concerned
about it happening again you could try putting a blob of paint on
Thanks for the tip.
The side panel did come off OK by itself, and the nut quickly dropped
out onto the work table. But no sign of the washer! I'm sure it had one
on when I built the radio, so I'm shaking the radio and searching for it
but so far to no avail. I assume it got stuck somewhere

What I use for nut-locking compound is plain old fingernail polish. Any
color will work, but I use red because it is easy to see.
It can be used two ways - to secure nuts and screws, and as an indicator
that unauthorized persons have been inside the box - sometimes called
warranty paint.
I'm 100% with Don on this.

Another significant difference is that LP-PAN can be used with other

I don't think there will be any problem as long as the sockets you
