K3 - made bail!

Don Rasmussen
It seems like the rear rubber feet for the K3 are the
same as for the K2. I had two spares here and used
double sided foam tape to attach them to the front
bail ends.

Now the K3 is at a much more appropriate viewing angle
and looks much more like a tabletop HF rather than a
large mobile.

I highly recommend it, the bail height is just
excessive if the radio is near viewing height (ie
computer hutch) and the radio actually looks better
with "legs". YMMV...

I should state that I greatly appreciate the current height of the bail
it makes for a very comfortable operating position.  *BUT* it should be
noted that (IMHO) the display doesn't look all that good when its up on
its bail w/ the default LCD viewing angle setting...  The LCD viewing
angle feature makes it so that things look very nice again.  The only
issue is that if you're standing over it then things get a little TOO
dark.  There are some good "happy medium" settings that make things look
good pretty much everywhere.
