Re: [Elecraft] K3 build: seeking advice re: KRX4 and DVR
Two weeks ago I assembled my K3 ( serial 974 ) having waited until I received both my KRX3 and KDVR3 since I didn't want to have to keep removing and replacing the front panel to install each of them. I installed the KRX3 auxiliary DSP board on the main DSP board during the initial build as specified on pages 36 37 of the most recent assembly manual. While the K3 assembly manual doesn't make any mention of installing the KDVR3 during the original build ( hint hint for an errata ) since it mounts on the main DSP board I also mounted it when I mounted the KRX3 Auxiliary DSP board. The manual says to complete the initial assembly without installing the KPA3 or KRX3 ( page 61 62 ) due to essential tests and calibration procedures before the KPA3 module is installed . I therefore completed the initial assembly only installing the KRX3 auxiliary DSP board the KDVR3 board. I completed the tests and calibration procedures for the K3 and then installed the KPA3, did it's tests and calibration and then installed the KRX3. Since you don't need to remove the front panel to install the KRX3 the installation goes pretty quickly once you assemble the KRX3 shield install the KRX3 board inside it. While the wait for the KRX3 and then the KDVR3 was some 7 months from the time I received my KR100 kit I'm glad I waited as I put it together at one time with the minimal amount of disassembly and therefore the minimum amount of handling the circuit boards. PS. using a hint mentioned on the reflector, In installing the KPA3 I used a very small amount of Deoxit to lubricate the connectors on the RF board before mounting the KPAIO3 board and then lubricated the connectors on the KPAIO3 board as well before mounting the KPA3 module to the KPAIO3 board. Using this method both the KPAIO3 board and KPA3 module mounted with very little effort unlike many of the comments I've read from people who mounted the KPAIO3 board and KPA3 module Dry. I also did all of the recommended mods before starting assembly. I'm glad to say the build went perfectly with no missing parts and everything works 100%. So for me, waiting until I had everything necessary to complete the rig with all the options I wanted at one time was worth it. Al WB6HPF DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL wrote: HI all... I am helping a neighbor assemble his K3. I have put a number of these together now, but none with the DVR and/or subRX. I think the DVR can go in with the initial build (comments)? Do you suggest that the base K3 be completed first and then the subRX be installed, or should I do it all at once? Maybe the official K3 advice is in the box. It just arrived at my qth tonight and all we did so far was an inventory.

The Mac will unzip and then go ahead and un-jar the jar file, resulting in a collection of class files in a nest of directories. I found that does not work. So, to use HamSphere on the Mac, first download the zip file and put it in some new folder you make for that purpose. Then open Terminal and cd to that folder. Now, in Terminal, do unzip .zip where the is the prefix of the zip file. That will do what you want. A jar file will appear, and that jar file will run correctly. Now close Terminal and double click on the jar file you just created. Should work unless something is wrong with your java setup. 73, Oliver W6ODJ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
