The waiting is over. Hurrah!! Placed my order on the Saturday of Dayton Hamvention. Received notice of delivery on Dec. 7th - arrived via rural postal delivery earlier today ( 17th). Seems to have spent some time at Canada Customs before getting into our postal system. This is a gift for my wife (VE3HQH) who is a bit uncomfortable with the manual tuner in our station ( but I plan to use it too !! )
Assembly was smooth and straightforward. I did need one of the small split washers from the bag of extra hardware. I'm sure glad I kept some of my old Heathkit nut-starters - it made the task of mounting the coaxial connectors a breeze. Preliminary tests with K3 / KPA500 combo have gone well. Serial 321 seems to be behaving exactly as promised. Still plan to update the amp and tuner to the 1.18 beta software.
