K3/100 # 1670 lives

It is now alive and well after about 10 hours of build and
calibration/testing time. I did find a few very minor problems with the
assembly instructions that I will share with Elecraft.particularly with the
Fan assembly as the two bottom center acorn nuts interfered with the relay
of the KPAIO3 board and needed to be put on the outside.the instructions are
unclear since the screws and nuts have been changed. All in all the build
went exactly as the manual said. My hat's off to the guys at Elecraft for a
very fine kit. 73 and see you on topband.de gary, kd9sv

I just assembled K3/100 sn1617 - it also came with KPA3 manual Rev D,
Jan 2008. No errata in my box. Also, no errata on your web site.

I just finished 1450 with KRX3. All of the manuals in the box were
one revision old. I printed copies of the most recent manuals on the
web and worked from them.

Next project, installing the KRX3 in S/N 622.

73,
