Yes, that's been fixed in the tools list. The Assembly manual was originally
written around a K3/10. You need a 100 watt dummy load when building a
K3/100

Sorry for the confusion.

Eric, Wayne, et al FTers:

The posted assembly manual suggests the use of an "RF 50-ohm dummy load with
low VSWR across the range of 160 meters through 6 meters."

Later, under the TRANSMITTER section, "Connect a dummy load capable of
dissipating 5 watts to the ANT1 output."

Which begs the question (at least for me):  Will we need a 100w dummy load
when installing the KPA3 or will the "low power" dummy be sufficient?

Thanks...
