order of construction for k3

[stephen pearce]

Hi
I have the 2nd rx, dvr and xv3 ready to install preparatory for the
arrival of the p3.
I want to install all 3 in one go.
The manuals are written as if you were starting from scratch each time.
Could someone (maybe who has already done this) give me some advise of
the sequence of approach
given that I want to do all 3 installations in one go
Mni Tnx

The KXV3 is a back panel install, I'd do that first.

You'll need to remove the front panel board to install the 2nd receiver Aux
DSP board and the KDVR3.
Install both the Aux DSP board from the 2nd receiver and the KDVR3 board
while the front panel is open.  You can reinstall the front panel and not
enable the 2nd receiver (leave the KRX3 menu option disabled for a bit).
You can enable and test the KDVR3.

Then install the sub receiver RF board (the l-shaped one in the steel can)
last, and then enable the KRX3 menu option.

YMMV, but that's how I'd do it.

Stephen,

I do not believe there is any conflict, or preferred order.  The DVR
fits onto the Front Panel/DSP assembly, the XV3 fits onto the back
panel, and the 2nd RX fits in the middle of everything.

Because of the KRX3 antenna connector in close proximity to the KXV3, it
would be helpful to install the KRX3 while the KXV3 is removed.  But
that is just a subjective observation - the only "problem" is the
plugging of the TMP cable into the KRX3 ant input - it is at an angle
that makes it easier with the rear panel assembly out of the way.

73,
Don W3FPR

I found that installing the 2nd receiver ... and especially
inserting the antenna cable into the TMP jack ... was
much easier if the KVV3 panel is removed.

In addition, I have a short (permanent) extension cable
added to my 2nd receiver's antenna jack that "moves" that
input to the area atop the receiver housing.  This facilitates
making changes to the choices of where the received is fed
from.
