Thank you Don, I'm aware of your considerable experience with all
things Elecraft and will take your valued advice - it will be easier
that way anyway.
If anything over confidence is my problem :-)

Dave,
That question has a 'double edged sword' answer, so "it all depends".
1) Either you make an error in applying the mod -
2) OR (IMHO more likely) you create some unrelated problem when you
reassemble the K3.
Reassembling and checking after each mod will reveal the first type
problem, but it certainly will compound the likelihood that you will
create a problem of the 2nd type. And doing the troubleshooting is
mentally difficult because one usually associates the problem to the
mod that was installed.
Unlike software changes, these hardware changes have been installed
by several users and the side effects (if any) are well known - it
is not like making a change for the first time.
My vote is to do them all at once, but YMMV depending on your
confidence level.

I now have a lot of various extras and mods to add to my K3 - KRX3,
KDVR3, all the mods
- all because I haven't had the time or need to practice SMD or are
waiting for the last bits (some of which I've asked Elecraft to
hold so they ship as one) - all of which are going to arrive soon :-)
It looks like there are some many dependancies on taking this off
and that apart, that it might be easier to do them all in one go -
but what are the risks of me missing something and then not being
able to figure out what that something is?
In the software world, we never (should never) make multiple
changes without inter-step testing - but to test at each stage
means putting it back together again, using it bit and then taking
it apart for the next bit.
What do people think here?
