The build went smoothly - the instructions really take you by the hand and
make the assembly almost stupid-proof. I was astounded by the presicion of
all the matching pieces. Everything lined up perfectly. For me, the only
tricky part was getting the green LEDs on the front panel pc board to
line-up with the front panel - but it wasn't that big a deal.
After completing the unit, I had one operator error (I was getting tired),
one card that needed a slight tweak, and a bad speaker. Elecraft support
responded quickly and took great care of me.
The radio is fantastic, and was very much worth the wait. It is the finest
transceiver I've ever used in my 44 years of hamming. The controls and
menus are well thought out. The automatic CW tuning aid is something to
behold!! QSK is wonderfull (I'm primarily a CW op) and works seamlessly
with my QSK-modified ALS-600 amplifier. I'm still learning the radio, and
I'm having a great time.
Anyone want to buy a Yaesu MKV?
