[Elecraft] K3 #1029 Build

[drewko1 at verizon.net]

The build went fine except for mounting the speaker. I think the
supplied fiber and toothed lock washers are too small in diameter for
the width of the speaker mounting slots. It's pretty difficult to keep
them from slipping through the slots, and then the screws go crooked..
I finally gave up and just used larger fiber washers.

I also updated the firmware, no problem. Used a straight serial
connection to the PC. But I'm wondering, would it be okay to plug in
the serial cable while the K3 and PC are powered up?

Here's an assembly hint... Use a magnetized screwdriver. It is much,
much more convenient! (The only screws that aren't magnetic are the
display window screws.)
