[Elecraft] K3 - Assembly Manual Errata A-4

2007-10-25 Thread David Pratt
I wonder which issue of the K3 Assembly Manual does the Errata sheet Rev. A-4 refer? The errata sheet shows and amendment to page 48, yet the Assembly Manual XD3 only goes up to page 47. Also, on page A-2, the seventh row is the Encoder assembly, not a jumper block. Is there a later

[Elecraft] Soldering APP's

2007-10-25 Thread Jeremiah McCarthy
One tip: make sure of the orientation of the connector pins before soldering especially on heavy gauge wire. This can be a bit tricky as the pin will want to rotate on the wire as soon as you touch it with the soldering iron (Murphy at work). It's important so you don't have to twist the

[Elecraft] Kit or Assembled?

Several have asked whether they should build a K3 semi-kit or get it factory-assembled. As a field tester, I missed out on the opportunity to build my K3 from scratch but I did have the opportunity to take parts of it apart and put it back together. You learn a lot from building. When I buy a
