This is such a simple and quick mod I have resisted posting it, but I do feel
it makes a small, not totally aesthetic difference. As an amateur astronomer,
I always blacken the edges of eyepieces and objective lenses to enhance
contrast. I did the same thing on the K2 bezel and I believe it
I did this mod, and I recommend it, it really makes a difference for hardly
any effort. It is by the way the first mod for the K2 for years!
It has been added to the updated LA3ZA list of modifications:

Great idea, I can see it working without doing it. Should also work nicely
on the KX3.
About the KX3's panel: are its screws self-contained, or are there loose
nuts behind the cover? I don't want to do something stupid.

I'll assume you did not assemble your KX3. The screws that hold the display
bezel on thread into standoffs attached to the control board. IIRC, the 5
screws that hold the bezel (4 around the display, one below the VFO A knob)
are the only screws that hold the control panel in place. Use caution

??? No idea who you are responding to without including the salient part of
his note but if it was Bruce, he is entirely correct IF you have a kit that
has not been assembled.
I was assuming that you had an assembled kit since you were
