[Elecraft] K3/100 # 1670 lives

All of the acorn nuts go on the outside of the fan panel, Gary. 

The new acorn nuts were introduced in May, 2008, and their use was
documented in Errata D3, dated May 7,2008 to the KPA3 manual.

The manual was subsequently updated to Rev E to include the errata items.
Rev E was released June 17. The proper installation of the acorn nuts is
covered on Page 14 and shown in Figure 13.  

If you got a Rev D manual without the errata, that was a mistake.

It is now alive and well after about 10 hours of build and
calibration/testing time.  I did find a few very minor problems with the
assembly instructions that I will share with Elecraft.particularly with the
Fan assembly as the two bottom center acorn nuts interfered with the relay
of the KPAIO3 board and needed to be put on the outside.the instructions are
unclear since the screws and nuts have been changed.  All in all the build
went exactly as the manual said.  My hat's off to the guys at Elecraft for a
very fine kit.  73 and see you on topband.de gary, kd9sv
