[Elecraft] K3 build sequence

[Don Wilhelm]

  Dwayne,

Since you did not mention the SubRX, you can add those options in any order.
The problem with the SubRX is that it sits on top of the main receiver, 
and must be removed to add options (such as filters and RX Bandpass) to 
the main.

If you later choose the SubRX, make that one of the later additions and 
your task will be an easy one.

Even the removal of the subRX is not a great ordeal, but it is a "bother".

SSB and all other modes come with the basic K3, there are no options 
involved for those modes.

73,
