I second Don's comment, re: "If you build the K3, fears about adding options, doing upgrades or performing any maintenance later on will be minimized because you know how it 'goes together'."
The ability to add features as requirements change and money becomes available is a major feature of Elecraft products and the K3 is no exception. I had to remove the KRX3 and the front panel assembly to add the DVR and a filter unit. I was nervous because it had been nearly since I built the kit, but the process went very, very smoothly. I would have felt a much higher barrier to taking advantage of the K3's "field upgrade-ability" if I had not put it together myself. -- 73 -- Brian -- K1LI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
