K3 sub receiver - kit vs assembled

[Al Dynarski]

I am getting ready to order the sub receiver for my K3 and have been reviewing the on-line manuals.  I am still puzzled as to the
difference between the kit and assembled versions.  I haven't found a manual that shows any actual 'assembly' of the sub receiver
just the installation of the unit into the K3.  Can someone please enlighten me as to what I am missing?  Thanks!

If you were having Elecraft build your K3 or if you are sending your K3
back then the assembly price needs to be included.  If you already have
your K3 then order it without assembly.

The receiver is fully assembled.  You just need to install it.  It is no
different than any other K3 module.

Maybe you didn't read far enough in the manual.  The following includes assembly, operation and installation:

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KRX3_Subreceiver_Install-Operate_Manual_Rev_E.pdf

The installation looks a little intimidating but it's really not so bad...just pay careful attention to the cable routing diagrams and photos.

This is not correct.  You get 5 different boards, the main board needs to be mounted in the shielded enclosure, filters need to be mounted on the main board and the other boards need to be installed, cables installed, etc.  Refer to the manual link I just posted.

I could be wrong, but assembled I think means that you send your K3
back to Elecraft and they install it for you.  There was no assembly
OF the K3 per se, other than putting it's parts in the K3.

You can see the assembly steps easily enough in the downloadable docs
from the website.
