[Elecraft] KX3 questions

[Bill Conkling]

Well, I haven't rec'd my KX3 yet, but from what I've read, and some videos
posted here, it should take about 2-3 hours from the time you open the box,
assuming you are already set with an ESD matt and wrist strap.  Go buy a
new, good quality #1 and #0 Phillips screw-driver, have your multi-meter
handy and a pair of nice needle-nosed pliers and you should be set.  For
more details, see the "KX3 Assembly Manual" on the website (elecraft.com
'Manuals and Downloads'  'KX3'.

 

My KX3 is supposed to ship in the next few days, so I'm anxious to get
started on mine.  More details after I finish building.

Bill:

Can you give me a rough idea of how long it will take to assemble ?  Want to
make sure I will have enough time to put it together without rushing.
I have built quite a few of the heathkit kits while they were in business.
Even built a K1 several years ago and later sold it, regretting that.

I think you could have a lot of fun building the basic radio and adding
stuff ss you can.  I did this with my K3.

I am thinking about purchasing a KX3. I can afford the KX3 but probably 
not any of the options at this point. Is this worth doing and then 
adding the modules as I can afford them or should I wait until I can 
afford the whole ball of wax ?

It looks I may be in San Francisco on business for close to a week in 
the near future. Is it worth considering having a KX3 shipped to my 
hotel and then working on it at night ? If so, what tools should I 
either pack in my luggage or try to buy locally ?

Thanks,
Ron
