No worries, Elecraft is on top of things for me. Part number for the back PA blank plate was accidently keyed in instead of the TCXO. It's on the way so no worries. I'm just VERY HAPPY the build went well and the Rig otherwise appears to be working (well other than no RX..LOL.. ). Just playing with the menus and getting familiar with it all. Once I get off work I'll connect my PC with the K3 Utility and see what I can see. I only like mag trays when I'm doing assembly or maintenance where I'd have a bunch of hardware out (especially small in size).

I hope the rest of the assembly goes well and you find no problems. Is there a chance that your TCXO is already mounted on the KREF3 board? My only comment is that I do not like to have any magnetic tools or trays (or anything else magnetic) on my workbench. They pick up bits and pieces that I do not intend and can sometimes inadvertently operate relays when not wanted. Of course, I am working with a variety of equipment, so my situation is different than only assembling a K3S, and I do have little bits and pieces (cutoff leads, etc) laying around on my workbench. Speaker magnets are an irritation that I can do little about, so I place them away from my work area. I do keep an old Weller soldering gun next to the workbench and its only task is to demagnetize my tools when they begin picking up bits. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/17/2015 8:30 AM, ae...@carolinaheli.com wrote: > 2.
