Make sure you have a mixer board in the kit. Several K3 kits have been 
shipped recently with missing mixer boards. The mixer board is used 
early in the construction project, so it's pretty much a show-stopper.

Hi Dick, Dave is quite right, make sure you do a complete inventory 
before beginning the build, there are at least three K3's supplied 
without mixers. If you find a missing mixer board, it will not stop you 
from building the kit, but it will be deaf and you will not be able to 
run any setup. It will power up ok.

Just add the fixture post when building the kit ready for the mixer 
board when it arrives, then just pop the top of the K3 and fit the new 
board, it only takes a couple of minutes.

I'm still waiting fro my mixer, reported it on and recieved a reply on 
Wednesday, but no mixer yet. But as the office was close for 4th July I 
didn't expect it beofre the weekend.

Enjoy your new radio.
