OK David ... assuming you are not disabled in some way [for the record, I am], assembling a K3(S) is not hard and it will work just fine for you "right out of the box." The factory defaults work great, I used them for several years before digging into the menus.

I recommend you separate the screws, nuts, and lock washers into separate bins by size, a muffin tin or egg carton works well, just don't put ESD sensitive components into Styrofoam. Go slow [this is not a sprint], ban the vacuum from your shack until done, and defer working on it after a beer or a glass of wine. :-) Just follow the build instructions exactly, and no fooling, check them off.

If your concerns are about shack wiring and usage after build, consult this group, be as specific as you can [I recommend one question at a time, it seems to lower the hijack rate of your need]. If you've got locals, go there first. Feel free to ask me why I know this.

You're K3(s) will work just great out-of-the-box.

Subject: [Elecraft] Final attempt at SOS !!!!

HELP NEEDED IN ORLANDO FLORIDA!!
Hi everyone
I am trying to ready myself for a K3S that I hope to have delivered in
the not too distant future. Hooray!!
The problem I face is that I really am a rookie and I need help, by way
of discussion and some "in shack" visual time as well.
Is there anyone who lives in Orlando that is running a K3S who would be
willing to give up some precious time to assist me in this crucial set
up period?
I can be contacted on:

I would appreciate your generosity
