I suspect many of us had some degree of fear factor when lowering the
subrx into the "depths" for the first time.  If you look carefully at
how it's aligned, it would be really difficult to get it wrong.  This
isn't apparent during the first attempt though.

And yes - a terrific radio is the K3.  It's very cool to have a radio
that you can add features into whether they're firmware or hardare.
Basic performance with/without all the available features makes it
worth owning just a plain jane K3/10 though...

Enjoy!
