[Elecraft] K3 #1264

[Jim Cundiff]

Hey All,
    K3 #1264 is built, and I must say it was a sweet build! The only 
problem was installing the front panel until I remembered about the 2D 
screw hitting the corner of the board. If I would have turned the page 
over and read ahead, I would have seen it there. I suffered a 
calibration challenge on the 50w tx part. After a call to Scott and Dale 
(great guys!) I discovered that my cable from the radio or my cheap 
dummy load was bad. Replaced those and had to call back to report all 
passed with flying colors!

    I am just relaying the above to say 'Make sure your test gear is as 
good as the radio you are testing!' The fit and finish of the parts is 
top notch and even though there are a couple of errors in the manual 
still, even a limited experience guy like myself can build this radio. 
Awesome radio and awesome customer service! Thank you Elecraft! 73

In His service,
