Patience and care will reward you with the best, most versatile, most
customizable XCVR currently on the market.
Day one: I set up a folding table by the stove, sorted (using a couple
of egg cartons for small parts), and read the complete directions.
Day two: I spent about six or seven hours doing assembly. Take your time
- read the directions twice.
Day three: Completed assembly and testing - another five or six hours.
Be sure to get the Fred Cady book - it will help you understand the real
capabilities of the K3 and show you how to use them.
Since then, I have used the K3 five or six hours daily - sometimes more.
Complicated and complex? Sure is. Take the time to learn the radio. You
will be rewarded with a great experience.
Get a pitcher and some ice - you will need it for the Kool Aide. It took
me nearly a year to fully appreciate the K3 and become an official Kool
Aid drinker.
