[Elecraft] [K3] suggested order for upgrades

Hello,
I'll soon be able to add these parts to my K3/100+KAT3:

3 filters
KBPF3
KXV3A 
KDVR3
KTCXO3-1

I'd like to minimize the dismount/remount needed to do this, but still I
don't feel it would be a good idea to mount them all and hope it all
works at the first time. 

Now, it should be possible to mount the KTCXO3-1 by just opening the top
of the case. It should be possible to test it without having to close
back the top, too.
The KBPF3 shouldn't require access to the bottom part since
the standoff are already there (iirc). Again, test should be possible
without remounting the top.
I could even do those two in sequence, and just test them together.
I'd then go on with the filters (which require access to the front part
of the bottom), and then proceed with either the KXV3A or the KDVR3,
which both require extensive dismount/remount. 


Any better ideas?


Pf
