First my hat is off to the Elecraft crew for a finely documented kit that 
was a real pleasure to build.  Any time I doubted a step, a simple re-read 
cleared it up, and THEY were right, hi.  Also, ANY time I suspected a screw 
shortage, it turned out that I had put one of the wrong type (pan head vs 
flat head) in the wrong place!!  I had only three glitches, and two of them 
were solved by list members in minutes of posting.  The third was me 
twisting off one of the "studs" that attaches the RS-232 connector to the 
cover.  I've done that on computers, so that's nothing new AND Elecraft had 
nicely sent two spares, so that was a quick fix.  All, including the KBPF3 
and KPA3 test fine and work well so far.  NOW to learn how to use this fine 
rig.  Thanks again to all for the assists!!!

W2 and more to come!
