[Elecraft] SMT and the K3 - Nerves

[Lee Buller]

I have SN 443 - an early model of the K3.  It has been back to Aptos for 
updates.  Now then, I just got at P3 and included in that is a kit that that 
changes a resistor on the K3 to give 10 db more to the P3.  It is SMT, but they 
also include a small resistor if you don't want to use the SMT resistor.  Now I 
have visors and I have magnifying glass on an arm....but LOOKING at this 
procedure and the K3....it gives megreat pause.  This is a whole new game for me 
from the K2.  I have huge hands and this just makes me nervous.

Somebody.....make me un-nervous about clipping off an SMT resistor and replacing 
it with either another SMT (Like that is going to happen - NOT) or the little 
resistor.

 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any 
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common 
Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.
