Hi, I'm extremely excited. My KX3 and PX3 kits and assorted goodies arrived 2 days ago. I have to build 2 computers before I got to open the boxes, but last night I build the KX3. It was a pleasure to build, the instructions were excellent, and save for having a minor bit of trouble making SURE the 4 pin connector of the ATU was seated, I had no issues. Bending the toroid under the antenna connector was a challenge, but I did it with a small hemostat, and it worked well. One of the windings seemed a little loose after I did so, but I don't think there will be an issue.
Smoke test was fine, fired it up and enabled the autotuner. Not much on the bands, but I was able to confirm reception of some CW that my IC-746 Pro could barely hear. All in all, a fun nite. Tonight, I build the PX3! Just thought I'd share.
