[Elecraft] K3 1536: Alive and well

[ww2r at g4fre.com]

Order placed 4/14

Katiegram received 8/19

It was on my doorstep 8/29 at 1700

Started construction 2030. Muffin tins make excellent part stores.

100W version completed and 1st QSO made at 0130. Rig is working fine


Only one assembly issue. The PA fans are now mounted (despite what the
supplied paperwork and website says) using 8 very long screws and 8 domehead
nuts. Unfortunately 2 of the 8 supplied had domes but no nuts (manufacturing
defect?) so i used 2 standard nuts while I get replacements

Just hooked up the LP-PAN; working fine

Now to interface the DEMI Transverters

Well worth the wait!
