In addition to Wayne's comments, 1) Do the parts inventory even though your fingers are itching to start assembly. That's something many of us skip over and finding and identifying each part before you start helps avoid confusion during assembly. There's no "Aaaaargh!" moment as bad as discovering that you used the wrong screw a few pages back and now you don't have it when it is needed. Besides, doing that in some steps can damage parts.
2) Be sure to check off each step in the assembly instructions. Check boxes are provided. Skipping a step is one of the most common reasons why a builder has to "back up" and reassemble a portion of the kit again after leaving something out. Checking the boxes helps make a skipped step stand out before you go too far. 3) If a step is not clear, feel free to drop me a note (r...@elecraft.com or r...@cobi.biz). I wrote the manual and the primary reason I try to keep an eye on this reflector is to pick up any issues people might report assembling their kits. Of course, during regular M-F business hours you can also contact k3supp...@elecraft.com. I'm not at the factory, so they are the people to contact in the unlikely event something is missing. 4) Have fun building. Have fun operating. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Wayne Michael Sent: Friday, August 5, 2016 7:05 AM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] k3s radio kit Any advise for a putting a K3S together?
