K3 soon to arrive

Dick Housden, W0NTA
I ordered my K3 on February 19. Received notice from Katie on July 2. She
shipped it on July 3 and it should arrive on July 9 according to UPS. It is
a kit K3/100 with the auto tuner, 1.0KHz filter, and 400Hz filter. Nothing
backordered. I hope to have it on the air next weekend.

Make sure you have a mixer board in the kit. Several K3 kits
have been shipped recently with missing mixer boards. The
mixer board is used early in the construction project, so
it's pretty much a show-stopper.

Hi Dick, Dave is quite right, make sure you do a complete inventory
before beginning the build, there are at least three K3's supplied
without mixers. If you find a missing mixer board, it will not stop you
from building the kit, but it will be deaf and you will not be able to
run any setup. It will power up ok.

Just add the fixture post when building the kit ready for the mixer
board when it arrives, then just pop the top of the K3 and fit the new
board, it only takes a couple of minutes.

I'm still waiting fro my mixer, reported it on and recieved a reply on
Wednesday, but no mixer yet. But as the office was close for 4th July I
didn't expect it beofre the weekend.

Enjoy your new radio.
