Announcing the arrival of a new K3 to this world. #8902 was officially brought into this world after 3 nights of light labor in kit building. Many thanks to Stephanie, Johanna, and Jashmin for accurately counting all of those tiny nuts, bolts and washers packed in what seemed like a hundred little envelopes and bags. Only 2 little bolts were missing, and were easily replaced from spares in the included extra parts bag. (thanks for including that Wayne)
All seem to be well with the newborn after a minor visit to the ICU when one of the TMP cables didn't want to seat correctly in the J92 connector of the KRX3. A note to the folks that will be assembling/adding the KRX3 in the future, that J92 is mounted at a slight angle from the pcb, and it is prudent to support the back edge of the TMP socket while inserting the TMP cable connection. In my case, the connector started to pull up from the pcb so a small resolder operation of the ground connection was in order. All is well and the newborn K3 has exited the recovery room and has entered the world. How appropriate it was that my first contact with the new rig was with another K3 owner. Happy Pi Day to all, Warren, KD4Z K3 #8902 ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
