P3 Arrives

[Phil Hystad-3]

My new P3 arrived today.  Now, time to put it together.  I think that time will be Saturday.  I will time my time.

Mine arrived today as well (#0037).  It took significantly less
than 90 minutes from opening the box to power up with the K3 even
though I took my time and had to stop at one point and take some
pictures of a finish issue (bad powder coat on the tilt bail).

A suggestion for anyone building one of these early units ...
expect to update the firmware (there is already one bug fix)
and expect to do the reference calibration even though the manual
indicates it should not be necessary.

73,

Wow, 90 minutes.  Well, if I take a lot longer then that I may not report my time. :-)

Mine is SN #0030.
