New K3S/P3 Set Up - The Essentials?

[MaverickNH]

A new K3S (2.8/2.1/1.0/400/250) and P3 with SVGA/TXMON arriving early next week (with ATU and SubRX, SS30DV PSU) and I'll run off a G5RV with remote ATU at base for now, with the stock ProSet-2 headset and MH2 mike. I'm working through the Elecraft Manual and Cady's books too, taking notes.

If K3/K3S users have any "first thing you want to do is", "don't forget to set the", "it won't work if you don't", sort of tips for initial set up, I'd appreciate it. I'll be doing a lot of listening on CW/SSB first.

Ah not to worry. Elecraft rigs aren't like computers where they're shipped to you completely broken and you're wasting the better part of a week trying to get it into a usable state.

All you'll really have to do is plug it all in and turn it on, and you're ready to go. They do a superb job with the default settings and everything works first time out of the box. I've had my K3S since the spring and I haven't had to do a thing to it. I've twiddled with some of the settings like the AGC and played with the noise reduction but that's about all.

The K2, yeah you have to build it first, hi hi, but the K3s comes completely configured/calibrated, etc. right out of the box.

Enjoy!
