Thanks Gary,
Sounds like several good reasons to add the KXV3A to the initial build. I'll add it to the list. 73, Dwayne, KE5EFY From: Gary Hvizdak [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 2:27 PM To: 'Dwayne Rohmer' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3 build sequence Hi Dave, I didn't mention that the KPA100 ought to be very simple to add after the rig is built. I say "ought to be" because even if you buy it at the same time as the K3, you still don't install the module itself until after the base K3 has been calibrated. The only differences in the assembly procedure are when you install the shield, and whether the top cover stiffener is attached to the top cover or to the enclosure. I also didn't mention that the KXV3A would also require significant disassembly to add later, and that besides supporting the internal 2-meter transverter, the it provides several other useful capabilities: . It IF output connector is required should you ever want to get Elecraft's P3 panadaptor. . The RX antenna jack is perfect for connecting signal and noise generators (such Elecraft's mini-modules). . The transverter output connector makes it possible to specify low TX power levels down to 0.1 mW with 0.1 mW resolution. . You would want it if you intend to get Elecraft's PR6, external six meter pre-amp. If you ever change your mind, the General Coverage BPF module would be a snap to add later. Unless you've installed the sub-RX. 73, Gary KI4GGX K3 #2724 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
