I just got my K3/100 today, S/N 2105.
I'm about a third through the assembly and I wanted to comment to the list
(those who are on the fence about ordering one, especially)
My skepticism was pretty high before I got it, I ordered the unit wading
through email about revisions to the firmware and wondering if the hubbub
was going to resolve.
Let me say that this K3 is no kit. It's a radio that just arrives in
parts. Everything goes together as if was machined, which it was to some
extent, but there is not a single thing I can find in the manufacturing
quality to give me the slightest bit of reservation about having the K3.
I expect the radio performance to be equally good. I just wish I could
finish the assembly sooner than later to work the radio. It's pretty
exciting stuff.
The hardest part is just sorting the hardware. It goes together really
smoothly.
I'm anxious to finish, and when the coffers refill, order more Elecraft
goodies ;-)
Kudos to the Elecraft team. I look forward to being ready to join the K3
nets. I am looking forward to working SSB/CW with the filter options too.
Thanks,
-jeff
