K3- 4536 Fixed my rattle!

Nr4c
Hi,

For information purposes I'd like to annouce I fixed my rattle.  I  
built my K3 about 2 weeks ago, and had a rattle caused by the large,  
thick spacer washer on the phone jack.  Well, I tried tightening it  
but still no joy.

This week, I installed the Digital Voice Recorder and therefore had to  
take the frnt panel apart.  I had ordered another washer in hopes that  
two would be thick enough to fill the space.  Well, it waw too much.  
I searched the junk box and found a internal star lock washer that fit  
the bushing of the phone jack, and it was the perfect thickness to  
fill the void.  Now I have the knurled nut tight, and no rattle!

The DVR works real well.  I used it last night to answer some CQ's and  
recordedd some incoming audio.

Next item, maybe tuner or some filters....
