[Elecraft] K3 build sequence

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Dwayne,
SSB is already in the K3, no extra's are needed. (The mandatory 2.7KHz 5 pole filter will do the job for you initially, upgrade it later at your leisure)
The 2M capability requires the KXV3A be fitted so it is probably a good idea to get that for the initial build.
The 2m transvertor is a snap to install, it's a matter of 2 or 3 TMP cables + a power connection and your basically done once the KXV3A is there.

Good luck with it and welcome to the Elecraft fraternity!

  Later this year, I plan to order a K3/10 Kit, KAT3 internal Antenna Tuner,
  and optional filters for CW, then add the 100 Watt Upgrade, General Coverage
  RX Bandpass Module, and other options as money allows. If possible, I'd like
  to avoid major disassembly for installation of future options by installing
  them in the initial build. Lesson learned with an old Thunderbird that
  needed a heater core replaced; half the insides had to come out just to get
  to the thing; don't want to do that again.

   

  Which options, if any, require major disassembly of the K3? Eventually I'll
  need SSB and 2 meter capability.

   

  Any recommendations for a first time builder would be appreciated.
