[Elecraft] K3 Serial Number 5785 on air!

[Scott]

Well, the same thing happened to me.  I built the K3 and later ordered 
the KRX3 upgrade.  All went well with the subrcvr upgrade til the 7/8" 
standoffs were missing.  To Elecraft's credit the standoffs arrived post 
haste within 3-4 days.  I was not in a big hurry so it was NOT a big 
concern for me... but it might be for others.

For Elecraft:  Please consider having both a "standoff" envelope and a 
"screw and washer" envelope for the base and option packages.  This 
forces the "envelope" fillers and QA to get the right amount of screws 
and standoffs to the customer for base and option packages.  Further, if 
the standoffs show up all is well even if the screws and washers are 
short... why?  Because I can go to the local hardware store and buy 
needed screws and/or washers for a few pennies but it is much more 
difficult for me to find and buy standoffs... thereby the build process 
is only minorly slowed if I don't have all the screws but it comes to a 
complete STOP without the standoffs.  JMO.

Once the KRX3 sub was installed it worked GREAT and I'd hate to operate 
without it now.
