[Elecraft] New K line station

[Rick Bates]

Hello all,

 

I put the new K3, P3 and KPA500 on the air yesterday for the first time.  I
built them on a 20 hour building jag Mon/Tues.  Other than me not reading
the instructions carefully at times and fingers that don't fit/work as well
as they used to (those #2 washers are tiny), it all went together very well.
The front panel of the K3 was a bit of a bother, but it worked and now I
have to take it apart for the second receiver when it arrives.  :-\  I just
listened for a couple days, trying to learn menus and control locations.
It's not immediately clear how to set TX output levels according to the
status of the KPA500, but I figured it out.  What an amazing system,

 

It all works beautifully.  No, it's not a surprise, but is very satisfying.
Well done Elecraft.
