K3/100 #78

Thomas Norff
Hello Guys,

K3 Serial Number 78, located in Germany, is up and working.

I finished to assemble my K3 (ordered 04/30/07, shipped 11/15/07 and
delivered 11/19/07) without any serious problems.
The only thing you should consider... RTFM !
Even if a step seems to be not necessary or wrong... do each step exactly as
described in the manual !
Especially the inventory is a really good recommendation and will avoid to
use the wrong screws.

Fortunately they sent me the Allen Wrenches... otherwise i would have been
in trouble here in 'Metric-Land'... ;o)

I resisted to post my pictures... we already had a UPS guy and you should
already know how to assemble a K3 even if you are still waiting to get
yours...


Special thanks to Marina, AnnMarie, Lindsay, Christine and Ruben from
Elecraft (or a subcontractor) for packing my box without missing any parts
!!!
Also special thanks to the engineering team for developing such a piece of
hardware !

A personal note for all the 'impatient' customers:  Engineers are always to
late, because they always try to build something perfect, which they almost
did !!!!

The only thing to do now is connecting the rig to an antenna and test all
the features, which will take at least a month.
