[KX3] assembly issue

I am assembling KX3 s/n 9112 and have run into an interesting snag. On page
30 where I mount the shield onto the RF board, when I removed the protective
back from the shield, all of the stickum came with it. Now there is not
enough stickum to hold the shield onto the RF board.

I need a safe work around. Elmer's glue?

Please reply directly as I get the digest and might not see the next digest
until late today or tomorrow depending on message traffic load.

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

Hi Jim,

Check Lowe's or Home Depot. They will have some double sided tape.
May call it carpet tape.

73,

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

Staples and other such stores sell double-sided Scotch tape ... much
thinner than "carpet tape".

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

Why wouldn't a call to Elecraft support be the very first “solution” sought for
this problem?

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

Hi Phil!

If it was me ... and I was about finished with the build ... I be looking
for a "local"
solution to a small problem rather than wait for Elecraft to respond ...
likely by mail ... and no new radio to enjoy for what would likely be days
of waiting.

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

I am never in that much of a rush. I have lots of things to do, some of which
have priority over ham radio anyway.

Re: [KX3] assembly issue

Yes, it is very easy for me to commit heresy on a ham radio forum.
