[Elecraft] The Final Build and order for K3

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

So the conclusion is... have a plan:  think the usage of the filters
through... install them once and be happy.

I would have only one word of caution with respect to filters.

Replacing filters with a single receiver unit is fairly easy.  However, the
process is more tricky when you have a sub receiver involved.

I personally found the sub receiver unit very tricky to install.  The
clearances are tight and it was very hard for me to see if things were
aligned correctly.  There are also a lot of tricky cable connections.
Although I have built several Elecraft kits I still don't feel comfortable
removing or installing the sub receiver unit.  

To change any filters you have to pull the sub Rx unit.
