All in all, if you can read and follow the instructions correctly, and 
can do a good job of soldering, then you can build Elecraft kits at any 
age.

Yes indeed.

The only serious difficulty I have had in building a fully-optioned K2 
and K3, was installing the K3 SUB rcvr , due to the spaghetti junction
of TMP cables fouling the connectors, and also from pushing a TMP plug 
in a little too forcefully.

I went thru 2 KRX3 boards and a lot of bad language before I got it 
right. An LED flashlight [Thanks, Gary!]
helped a lot.
A harness holding the TMPs in place and out of the way would be a great 
help, if feasible. 

A word to the wise: install your SUB AFTER you have installed everything 
else .
Otherwise, installing that new filter  or   . . . is going to require 
you to remove and replace the SUB, yecch.
