K3 received at WA7U QTH 04-14-2008

[T Gahagan]

Got my K3 by USPS priority at noon today. Ordered 10-22-2007, shipped 04-11-2008.   Just about to start calibration of the synthesizer.  Took about 6 hours to get to this point.  This radio is a great pleasure to build as was the K2 and I'm sure even more fun to operate.  My thanks to Elecraft for such a great radio.

Todd, WA7U

Got mine a few days ago.
When mounting the DSP to the front panel there is a large washer over the
phone shaft.
Cannot get a tight fit between this washer and the back of the front panel.
Yes I am using the correct stand offs. Is something missing on page 34-35?
Depart from that it is a real joy to handle this nice piece of engineering
art.
Thanks in advance

Well guys,
Problem solved (or soldered).
The small red delta TX LED was so misaligned I had to remount it,  now it
all fits nicely.
For all of us living outside NA there is a minor error on page  17 where
3/16" is calculated to be 17 mm which of course is wrong, should read 4.7
mm.

for all such typos, please do let Ron know - he will correct them in  
next version - he read this reflector, but a direct mail will ensure  
he see it - won't it Ron? :-)
