KXPD3 thumb screw

[Dennis L. Haarsager]

Got my KX2 today, SN 314.  Pretty sweet!  But, unfortunately, the KXPD2 is
back ordered.  I already have a KXPD3 with the older "pointy" thumb screw.
Has anyone had luck just grinding the point down?

Hi Dennis,

This will work, but you're better off ordering the replacement
thumbscrew (E700245).  The machining on this thumbscrew replacement
meets our specs for the KXPD3 when used with the KX3 and KX2 transceivers.

Bench grinder, gloves, and grind away - with caution!  Lose your grip and
lose your screw!
