[Elecraft] How Long will it take to assemble a K3/100??

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Dick,

As an owner of a 3 year old factory built K3 I kind of knew that they used
"power screwdrivers" in the assembly. One day I plan to perform surgery on
the one remaining front panel screw that I was unable to remove. Doing the
DSP board swap was an adventure.

73,
