"... If you are not accustomed to judging screw lengths accurately, use a ruler to measure them. " I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents: Pay very close attention to the screw lengths and sort them out carefully. A 4-40x3/16" Pan Head might work when a 4-40x1/4" is called out, but later you may

Hey Dave, Is the P3's 12v supplied from the 12v aux port (rca Jack)? If your K3 is a few years old, you might need the K312mdkt. This boosts current output from .5 to 1.0 amps. - 73, Russ - W9RB -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/
