[Elecraft] put together for kx3 kit?

[Nick-WA5BDU]

Since there's not an assembly manual yet, it's hard to say.  But 
probably it's a lot like the K3 but less complicated.  I believe it's 
another no-solder kit, so you're basically mounting boards and 
components and plugging in the interconnection cables & jumpers.  I 
believe there are a couple of main boards, LCD display, battery holder, etc.

If by discrete components you mean things like resistors and 
transistors, I'd say no.  But if you consider things like connectors and 
so forth to be discrete components, then yes.

If one can follow written instructions carefully, tell the difference 
between screws of different lengths, etc.,  most people will have no 
difficulty.

Since you haven't ordered yet, by the time you could receive a kit any 
difficult spots will have been worked out and discussed here, and there 
will probably be YouTube videos of people doing the assembly.

Screwdrivers and kitchen table ready for my KX3.

(My components tell no tales.)
