K3 - Installation times for options

[Rick Stealey]

I wonder if I could get a few ideas regarding the times to install a couple options.
The 100 watt PA, and the KXV3 IF interface and multiple antenna input kit.

How long should I budget?

I have installed several upgrades to my original K3/10.  I have found that
20 to 30 minutes will cover most items.  Filters are on the low side, the
sub-rec or 2meter xverter (Internal) might be a little more.  The longest I
have had was the KAT3 auto tuner.  It took about 15 minutes to install, but
another 30 minutes to locate the internal 'star' washer that slipped out of
my fingers, and I was determined not to apply power 'till I had found it!
It was logged in the corner, in front of the shield between a standup
capacitor and the side panel in the gap behind the front panel.  Would not
shake out.  Finally retrieved it with a 'dental' pick.  I'm getting pretty
good at removing the top panel by now.

I hope you have as much fun and enjoyment with yours as I have with mine.
The assembly was fun, but using it is even better.

Good luck!

Hi Rick

I've recently added the 100w PA, and took a leisurely hour or so. No hassle
at all.
