[Elecraft] [K3] 8-hour Build

[Bill Tubbs]

Like so many said, it takes about 8 hours to do a proper K3 build. I started mine at around 9am and finished the final tests at around 5pm, with a few small breaks during that period. 

I promised my wife that the kitchen counter would be clear by the time she got home from work, and just barely made it!

I saved a little time by not organizing all the hardware. I built  my KX3 recently and had enough confidence in both my recognition of the differing sizes of screws, and Elecraft's parts packing to just work from the packages. And it was perfect!

Of course, the only options were the ATU and power amp., so that cut some of the potential time. 

Very nice rig...but I was already spoiled with the KX3 :-)
