I just received and built my K3/100 in the last week and overall it is a very easy build especially compared to the K2 which is a true stuff-board-and-solder kit. I very much echo those above that used egg cartons or some other container to separate the zillions of screws, nuts and washers. It takes a little time in the beginning but saves a lot during the actual build. Have as much room as possible as you will have a lot of pieces laying around waiting to be installed and plenty of light too. A magnetic screwdriver is a must as some of the screw locations can be tight. Use an anti-static mat and wristband if at all possible as zapping one of the boards would not be a good thing.
Don't drink too much beer - it can spill and make vision blurry %-| Take your time and have fun. It's a fantastic rig. Now if I can only figure out what all those buttons and controls do...... 73, Bill NZ0T _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
