It's not difficult in that it's an assembly process, where you're screwing things together and plugging pre-assembled boards together. When I opened my kit, I was agog at the number of pieces there were. It's very gratifying to see the pile diminish.
Sort the screws, nuts, and bolts, and spacers carefully, by size. Some of them are very close to the same size. Take your time, read each manual section thoroughly, then again, take your time, check off each item you've completed. Use an antistatic mat and wristband. Enjoy a great experience and a great rig! 73, Mike NF4L Mike Tatum wrote: > Hi James, > > Thanks for the help, time to place the order! > > I've never built a kit radio before, so this is going to be a new > experience for me. > I'm hoping it isn't going to be too difficult :) > > 73 > > Mike. > M0AWS / F5VKM > http://www.f5vkm.com > > > On 9 Jan 2010, at 15:32, James Sarte wrote: > > >> Hi Mike, >> >> You will need the KXV3 or KXV3A board; either one of those will >> have the IF >> output jack. >> >> 73 de James K2QI >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Tatum >> Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 8:42 AM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [Elecraft] Using SDR-IQ with K3? >> >> Hi All, >> >> I am about to order my K3 Kit and want to make sure I am ordering the >> right part to enable >> me to use the SDR-IQ unit with my K3. >> >> Can someone please confirm that to get the correct IF Output for the >> SDR-IQ I need to include the >> KXV3A module with my K3 Kit order? >> >> If I've misunderstood and have detailed the wrong item please educate >> me! >> >> Many thanks and a Happy New Year to all! >> >> Mike. >> [email protected] >> http://www.f5vkm.com >> >> >> >> ______________________________________________________________ >> Elecraft mailing list >> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >> Post: mailto:[email protected] >> >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html >> >> >> > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
