One reason for the ever-present errata sent out with the manuals is that we're constantly monitoring feedback from builders and updating the assembly procedures accordingly.
A quick scan of the link below shows all of the more significant items on the list are now a part of the current Rev. E K3 Assembly Manual. Be especially careful to use the right hardware everywhere. Some spare hardware is included because hardware has a wonderful ability to go hide at just the wrong time, but using the right size hardware is critical in some places. For example, using too-long screws for the plastic bezel around the LCD will break the LCD! The biggest and most important "trick" is to take your time. The check boxes are there for a reason. Check off *each* step after doing it *and* double-checking that you did everything in the step using the right hardware. One of the biggest difficulties people get into is skipping a step, then not finding out about it until they have invested considerable time troubleshooting after they thought they were done :-( Build your K3 just like you might handle old dynamite. Work slowly. Work carefully. Don't drop things :-) Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Joe G wrote: > > > - Are there any "tricks" at any stage of the assembly that anyone > has uncovered > > http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Kit_Building 73, Barry N1EU -- _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
