KX3 screen protection

[Greg - AB7R]

Thought of this when replying to an eHam post.  Has anyone tried using a tablet/cell phone screen protector on the Plexiglas screen cover to keep it from being scratched when hiking or camping?  Seems like one tablet screen protector should give you a few applications if necessary.

Good idea, but I did it a little different, I covered the screen with clear shipping tape.  A little careful getting all of the air bubbles from forming, but does a great job protecting the screen of the LCD..  No cost replacing it either. hi.

Except you may have to clean off the 'sticky goop' from the tape.
I would think sliding the KX3 into an old sock or something similar
would provide adequate protection while transporting it.

Not trying to promote any ones products, but I would want my buttons and knobs protected as well and there fore I use a SideKX cover from Gem products. Great product and a fellow ham

[Greg - AB7R]

yes...and the side panels with folding cover are great too.  I was not referring to transport though...just a little extra protection when operating in the field (stumps, boulders....etc. :)  )

Be aware that most tapes such as shipping tape will generate many thousands
of volts due to ESD effects when the tape is pulled off the surface it is
stuck to.
