The manual does include the KDVR3. See errata F2, item 3, available on the Elecraft WEB site here:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Assembly_Manual_Errata_Rev_F-2.pdf The instructions for installing the KRX3 as part of the basic build were incorporated in the current manual (Ref F) last October. See pages 19, 36 and 66. The KRX3 is handled just like the KPA3. The procedure has you install the parts that are easiest done during the initial build, then you calibrate and test the basic K3 before finishing up the KRX3 installation. The KDVR3 is handled just like the KAT3, KBPF3, KXV3, etc. It's installed during the initial build, then enabled (made active) after the basic K3 is tested and calibrated.

IMHO the only really critical issue is to install the AUX RF cable in the initial build. If you didn't do that it would require some major disassembly to install the BNC and route the TMP cable. For some reason I wound up with an extra AUX RF cable from the first 2 units I built. When I got my 3rd (which doesn't have a KRX3), I installed the AUX RF cable so it will be an easy job if I decide to add a KRX3 later. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-build%3A-seeking-advice-re%3A-KRX4-and-DVR-tp2171758 p2172878.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
