Yes indeed. The only serious difficulty I have had in building a fully-optioned K2 and K3, was installing the K3 SUB rcvr , due to the spaghetti junction of TMP cables fouling the connectors, and also from pushing a TMP plug in a little too forcefully. I went thru 2 KRX3 boards and a lot of bad language before I got it right. An LED flashlight [Thanks, Gary!] helped a lot. A harness holding the TMPs in place and out of the way would be a great help, if feasible. A word to the wise: install your SUB AFTER you have installed everything else . Otherwise, installing that new filter or . . . is going to require you to remove and replace the SUB, yecch. eric VA7DZ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ______________________________________________________________ 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
