Now with another evening in the books, I'm even more impressed. 20M was open to the west coast and I heard John - N6JW - working stations so I managed to get him. First call was with 25W, I was at his noise level so I bumped it up to 75W and we talked for a few minutes. He helped me through adjusting Mic gain and compression for a bit better results, thanks John! I didn't have any hardware issues with the build but the kit was short 1 set of instructions - they packed an extra set of KAT3 instructions with the KPA3 instead of the KPA3 instructions, fortunately I had downloaded a copy so I used them off the computer for the KPA3 install. I did not install the "standard" SO-239 antenna connectors, I swapped them out for BNCs which I much prefer. Too bad Elecraft does not offer that as an option, I would have elected to go that route. All in all, a fine radio and I'm sure I'll be learning about it daily!
