[Elecraft] Adding options later for the K3

[John Lemay]

Mike

It's refreshing to hear from someone who is not considering buying the 100w
kit with almost every single option on day one !

Building the basic kit will give you a first class rig at a very competitive
price and will give you the confidence to go back inside and add options
when you need them. It might be wise to save up and buy and install more
than one option at a time, just to save repeatedly opening up the covers,
but that is all.

The basic kit you refer to comes with DSP IF filtering, and a 2.7K roofing
filter, so you needn't order any other filters, unless you're interested in
AM/FM, or you're a confirmed CW addict. Filters are one of the easiest
options to fit.

There's just a small snag with new options (such as the 2m module) - when
they're first released, there can be a backlog, and experience shows us that
release dates tend to move forward too !

I am looking to get a K3 kit.  Just the basic 10watt kit, the ATU and maybe
a Filter.

I would assume that the hardest part, would be the original build.  Is it?
As time and cash becomes available, I will add to it.  Is it all easy to add
later, or is there some option, because of complexity, that I should install
at the beginning?

It will be replacing a Kenwood TS-570, so don't need to start with a lot of
options to see a big difference.  I'm planing on using a Heil Goldline
microphone, that I was using with the TS-570.

I just joined the list here, yesterday.
