KPA500 kit

I haven't seen it mentioned, but I'm wondering what the KPA500 kit
plan is? Is it similar to the K3 kit, where it's akin to assembling a
computer, where boards are put into an enclosure, or is it a solder
some parts type kit? I'm assuming the former given the nature of the
kit (having HV and big voltages floating around). I'm sure it's been
mentioned by Elecraft somewhere I just can't seem to find it anywhere.
Have there been any estimates on the number of hours expected to build
the kit and what's involved?

Thanks,

Jeff N6GQ

Re: KPA500 kit

I want to say that I read something that the kit would be like the K3
with boards to install.

Re: KPA500 kit

The KPA500 kit is a no-solder kit similar to the K3.
