Received it Wednesday, started assembly Thursday evening. Finished 
assembly Friday.
K3/100   KXV3A   KRX3   KBPF3   P3

Didn't get the tuner, running an LDG AT-600Pro after my Ameritron AL-811

Main Rcvr has 6 Khz, 2.7 kHz, and 500 Hz filters.
Sub Rcvr has 2.7 kHz filter. I plan on getting a vertical up to 
complement my 66' doublet so I can benefit from diversity receive.
I'm not a CW operator but that may change, and I'm looking forward to 
getting into some data modes.

I assembled the P3 first, that was only about an hour and gave me a look 
at some of the various connectors, hardware, and procedures so I was 
more comfortable starting on the K3. I would recommend this.

Guess it's time to give K2 #5345 back to my dad (Dale K6PJV, K3 #1183). 
Thanks for the loan for the last six months!
