Finished assembly of my K3/100 serial number 4359 this afternoon. What an easy, trouble-free build. Everything checks out, the 100W PA works fine, and I'm looking forward to getting some sort of antenna up in the air to make some QSOs. Only had two minor issues during the assembly. First, I accidentally dumped my 32-bin plastic parts tray over, with most of the K3 nuts, washers, etc. falling into the chassis / RF board - arrrghhhhh! Then, when I was almost finished, I heard something rattling in the front panel unit. Thinking it was from the dumped parts bin, I ripped the K3 apart, including the front panel. Only to find out that the rattle was caused by my not having tightened down the knurled ring on the phones jack on the front!!!
Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Wayne and Eric for designing such a great rig. Assembly couldn't have been easier - the manual was exceptional! And lastly - a BIG attaboy for Susan and Ryan at Elecraft - they had their names in the packing slips on all the parts bags and not one item was missing - thanks folks!!! 73, Jim / W6JHB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-S-N-4359-It-s-Alive-And-Thanks-tp5141556p5141556.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
