[Elecraft] KX3 Got a good feeling about this

[Buck k4ia]

My KX3 (ordered Dec 29) was delivered today.  Hot Doggity!

I started the build and it is remarkable  As always with Elecraft, the 
unpacking is to behold a work of art.  How do they put together such a 
beautiful package?

The hardest part for me is discriminating (is that a bad word?) between 
a 1/4 inch and a 3/16 inch screw or a 2-56 vs a 4-40 thread.   If you 
work with this stuff every day (I don't) it might be easy.  But, it is a 
puzzle with easy answers.  Don't be intimidated by my comment. If the 
instructions say there are 7 of something, you can figure out which of 
the doohikies in front of you have 7 - and that must be it.

Thanks Wayne and Eric.  You have redefined the modern amateur 
transceiver from the technical side in a revolutionary way. You went 
against the conventional wisdom of quadruple up-conversion and produced 
receivers of remarkable sophistication.  Then you did the impossible and 
kitted it out.  Amazing.
