[K3] Another K3 (SN 7071) on the air!

[Bill Coleman-2]

My wife completely surprised me at Christmas by buying me a K3/100. I had asked for donations toward the K3 fund on my Christmas list. Of course, it arrived three days late.

I spent about six hours doing the assembly. Unfortunately, my two dummy loads are 100 miles away, so I can't do the TX Gain Compensation calibration. However, the unit seems to receive just fine. I'm spending my time today trying to get familiar with all the controls and menu options.
