Well, congratulations. If you already owned a K3 I assume the new radio provided very few surprises. I also own two K3s but I am embarrassed to admit that both were factory assembled. I don't know why since I managed to build a K2/100 with most of the accessories without any problem. I am even more embarrassed to admit that I haven't even peeked under the hood of either radio and I really should do that. I have heard a rumor that they are driven by hamsters pedaling madly on wheels but I guess I can only dispel that by looking inside. Who knows. If I do that I may find that feeding them will even increase the performance further. Perhaps we will meet one day on the air but after this message I suspect if you hear my call sign you will probably just change bands!

K3 5553 arrived about 24 hours ago.. Five hours last night and 3 today and she is on the air..!! What a joy to assemble the K3 and other Eklecraft equipment. Not a single thing was missing (actually had extra hardware it the kit), every test was successful and all calibration went without a hitch. The is my second K3.. The first was factory assembled and I really wanted to try building one. It was GREAT.. Thanks to all the team Elecraft for a wonderful product.. de W4CCS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
