I ordered my K3 yesterday and have been going through the build manual this weekend. I also for some reason thought there was something you had to solder, but sure enough it does look completely like a insert-tab-a-into-slot-b kit. Even the speaker leads appear to already be soldered and prepared.
I'm glad I won't have to manufacture connectors tho as I ruin those just about 100% of the time as is evident on the plugs on my K2 hi hi. And should be a refreshing change not to have to adjust overly sensitive caps etc...... Still I ordered the 25w dummy load just to give me something to solder hi hi (and do wattmeter calibrations on the K3 and still need to do on the tuner I just finished for my K2). But if the kit is anything like the K2 as far as preperation, thoroughness of instructions, etc., it ought to be a breeze and it should work first time. Armed only with my 6th grade education, my K2 worked first time out and have had no problems since..... 73, LS W5QD (looking forward to getting on the data modes) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Kit-4076-Arrived-Safely-tp4764166p4773096.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.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
