KX3: Missing instructions for screws?

Kevin Luxford
When I finished the build of the KX3, there were a couple of small flat
head black screws left over.  I found a couple of spots where they
fitted, but for the life of me I could not find reference to them in the
assembly instructions.  These screws seem to go on either side of a male
connector visible in the window of a square cut-out on the top cover.
Further, I could find no reference to this 4 pin connector.  Has it
something to do with the yet un-released 2 m option and linear amplifier?

I have gone through both the assembly and operator's manuals at least
three times, however, this is no guarantee that I have not overlooked
the explanation I am looking for.

Re: KX3: Missing instructions for screws?

Thanks guys for the enlightenment.

I did not buy the paddle as I have BY1, an Accukeyer with a Kiwi
designed set of paddles, and a number of straight keys (my favourite
being the German WWII Junker DGBM key).  A poor excuse for not having
read EVERY word in the manuals including those bits which applied to
options not purchased.

Another case of, "Kevin, RTFM!"

Nice to get prompt solutions to problems at 2 am (my time.) Thanks again

Those holes are for the KXPD3 paddles - you can ignore them.  Elecraft
always gives you some extra hardware - just in case.
