[Elecraft] Adding options later for the K3

Welcome to the list.  Pleasure to have you here.  There really isn't
anything that is too difficult to install after the fact.  I'd say that
the hardest stuff to get into is the back panel area.  So if you feel
the need for the KXV3A then you could get that out of the box but
honestly its not that big of a deal to add later.  The KXV3A allows for
transverters to be connected, allows for an IF output for panadapters,
allows for a separate RX antenna input.  and allows you to use the RX
output to pass things onto another radio for A/B testing and many other
things.

Anyway feel free to ask questions here.  Do search the archives online
and do Goole searches for questions you have as you can find the answers
immediately that way often.  If you're really in a rush (like while
you're building the radio) come in here and you'll find many of us will
jump at the opportunity to help make sure you succeed! 

Again welcome to the Elecraft community.  This is what makes Elecraft
Elecraft!
