[Elecraft] K3 Filters (again???!!) - Many Thanks

[Jim Miller]

True Don, Without the second receiver it is pretty much a "nothing" to do
the install.  I have the second receiver too and have added filters twice
since it was installed.  The second time, the 2 meter internal module was
also installed.  Yes, it is not as simple as without additional pieces in
the way but can be done and I didn't see it as anything other than a bit of
a pain to have to remove and reinstall them.  Not something that cannot be
done.

Peter,

The K3 filters are quite easy to install later - *unless* you have the
KRX3 installed.
If you are considering the subRX as part of your order, then I suggest you
do not install the subRX until you have gotten a handle on the filters that
you will want.  Install those filters and then install the KRX3.  The reason
is entirely physical - the K3 main RX filters are beneath the KRX3, so that
assembly must be removed to add additional filters to the main K3 RX.

down to just get the basic filter, see how you get on and if necessary get
others as and when needed. What was interesting was that of all who
expressed an opinion said go for the kit instead of buying it completed
which makes a lot of sense both financially and to learn a little about how
the rig worked.
