K3 manual

[adamkern]

Will the K3 instruction manual have appropriately placed
sidebars or cross references for installation of optional
accessories at the time of original build, or will the
assembler have to cross reference accessory manuals his or
herself?

As I understand it, that isn't really a meaningful question for the K3,
as it is already factory assembled to beyond the point at which this is
an issue for the K2.

(On the other hand, if I were in the market for the K3, at the moment, I
would want to  wait for the manual before I ordered, as I find that only
by reading the manual can you make informed decisions about the purchase
of complex technology.)

That is the intent.  Doing so will avoid a few cases of partial disassembly
to install an option.  For example, the KAT3 adds a second SO239 on the rear
panel and is easy to install when you install the first SO239.  It can be
added later, after the radio is assembled, but then requires a bit of
disassembly, like the side panel to facilitate adding the second SO239.
