Hi Sal, The KPA500 is a pretty easy kit but you have to take time to carefully inventory the screws.
Here's a tip. Look at figure 40 on page 28 of the assembly manual. I suspect it would be easier to bend the gray wire prior to mounting the connector in the chassis. Access is tight in its final position. I'm surprised they haven't put a notch in the sheet metal to eliminate the need for this alteration. 73, Mike K2MK W2RMS wrote > Hi everyone! > Finally assembled the KAT500 last night. > I never thought i would have this much difficulty with the tuner as > opposed to K3/P3. > Those SO-239 lugs are tricky!
