Mike ‹ There was an exchange on the reflector about two weeks ago on the subject of installing the SubRX. It was the most difficult part of the process for me when I built mine. The key is to get the K3¹s left side panel out of the way. The builders manual says to remove it (page 12), and to replace it later (page 20). But one person - I have forgotten who - believed that it would be easier to leave that panel off until later in the installation. I just followed the instructions so I can¹t testify to the suggestion myself - you can probably find the posts in the archive.
