K144XV Side Panel for K3

[Roy Morris-6]

The early K3 smooth paint coat is different from the current textured powder coat paint.  I wonder if Elecraft is making available the appropriately painted K3 side panel with the K144XV installation.  If not, it will not look the same.  Roy Morris  W4WFB

The side panel that came with my K144XV is the textured powder coat style. My K3 has the smooth finish. There is a definite difference, but it's not noticeable with a casual glance. You would have to really examine it closely to notice the difference. Not an issue for me.

If you need it to match ask yourself how hard is it to drill 3 holes in a panel?

Appliance operators might have difficulty with that ;-(  Remember, the
radio amateur of today is not the same as the radio amateur of
yesteryear.
