Hi Ben,
Welcome on board!
You'll certainly won't regret stepping into the K3 adventure.
After years of Japanese (and ex marine) equipment the big difference to me:

functionality.

May be you should take it apart at least once :-)
Hey that's a good idea Paul. Can I apply it to my KX1?! Disassembling

Hi Steve,
My experience has been better with the IOTA DLS-45. I used it for about
a year for my Icom 746pro. Then I bought an Alico DM-340MV linear for
my 746pro and used the IOTA for my 2m radio. I did not notice any
difference in noise levels on HF - but perhaps it depends what
Hi, all concerned:
Experience and hope prompt me to ask if a single-rx K3 can be pre-tested to
verify that it will operate properly with a second receiver.

I can't think of a reason it would be any different with Mac Safari.
If you are not a registered user (free) you can't sign in and you will not
get the line because the program does not know where you are. You've got to
sign in. Then the program uses your location for one end of the line and

We're going to scare off the guy that is thinking about buying one.
It isn't really that bad. Matter of fact it is farily easy, just be DETAIL
oriented and read everything twice and be sure you understand. That is not
hard at all with all the pictures. explanation detail and all. AND, the
I support that. Maybe we were getting too intimidating with our
KX1/K1/K2/kits inside jokes.
Enjoy your K3. It's in a league miles above and beyond anything I've ever
owned before.

Jim,
Nice to have the K3 assembly information. Have you or anyone else noted
the time to assemble a K2? I hope to build one or the other sometime in
the not too distant future.

Gary,
Its been years since I built my K2, but allow a couple of weeks to complete
if you work several (6) hours a day. That sounds pretty intimidating but the
K2 is modular and it turns out you get to test the front panel and become
familiar with all of the controls before completing the main

Assuming (??) that you refer to getting the KRX3 to turn your K3 to a 2 RX
K3, there really is not that kind of interdependence. You don't have to
have a tested good 1 RX K3 to support the KRX3. If some problem crops up,
you work it out with Elecraft's excellent technical support.

It took me three weeks of evenings and weekends to build my K2/100 and
all the options including a KAT-100 tuner. I'd get home from work, slam
some food down my neck and get to it, stuffing and soldering. I'd start
at 7:00pm local and work a couple of hours. On occasion I'd look up and
Not wanting to hide out in a corner, I used a 2x3' drafting board, put it on
my lap in the living room with the soldering station on a TV tray, and built
my K2 while chatting with the XYL, listening to music, and even watching
some TV.
Twelve days, start to finish, working probably two or three
My K2/10 took about 40 hours to complete. Every evening after work was spent
plugging and soldering. Having such a nice radio with which to work that was
made by me is very rewarding.

It took me two and a half days to build my 2nd K2, about 30 hours total,
then some time spent doing the alignment and adjustment, then I built most
of the options in the next week.
The first K2 took about 40 hours, but I think they improved the manual over
time.
The building is VERY fun and
If you use a PWRGATE between your supply and and a battery, you MUST raise the
voltage to compensate for the drop across the Schottky diode in the PWRGATE.
The correct voltages for different batteries are in the manual. Even with my
