K3 SN 000031 consists of a kit version K3 with antenna tuner KAT3 with a KPA3 and several filters.
1. When taking delivery - first inspect shipping container for any obvious damage. SOP 2. Package contains a number of items - a shipping document, approximately 300 packing peanuts and three boxes wrapped in bubble pack. On top is the KPA3 loosely embedded in the styrofoam peanuts. Underneath is a layer of bubble wrap containing the K3 main box. At the bottom is a flat box about 1 1/2 inch thick labeled K3 chassis set - don't mistake it for the bottom of the shipping box. 3. Prepare the kitchen table or other large work area to open boxes. Get a kitchen trash bag for the packing materials. 4. Carefully cut the tape on the boxes. If you use a scissors to nick the tape it'll tear. If you use a knife don't go deeper than the cardboard there are a lot of plastic bags full of parts underneath. Books are in Main Box for assembly, and operation. Check rev letter and read all notices, especially the one about the firmware. 5. Be prepared for a lot of parts bags and take inventory as you dig in. Don't expect to get it all back in the box the way it came. I think Elecraft maybe spent a good part of the preparation time figuring out how to get all those parts tucked in so well. 6. In Chassis Set Box there are a lot of cabinet parts with fine finishes, be careful unwrapping them. 7. Start reading and have fun!
