Hi Mike. You might get things needed for building the K3 ahead of time, like
a static pad/wrist strap, and a 50 Ohm dummy load. Get a good Phillip's Head
screwdriver. I use a "Husky" 90044 #1. It has an 8" shank which helps reach
areas where my fat fist won't fit.
You'll need a signal source for calibration. If you're looking for an
inexpensive signal source I suggest the Elecraft 2T-gen kit. This is an easy
kit to build and it is perfect for use with the automated gain setup in the
K3 Utility program.
I use the Heil footswitch and HM-10 mike so your Goldline should work just
fine. Just set the Menu: Mic Sel to fPH (front panel, high) if you use the
mike jack on the front of the K3 or rPH if you use the rear PTT and MIC
jacks.
The K3 kit itself does not require any soldering and the options are a snap.
Just take your time and enjoy.
