[Elecraft] Which comes first?

[John Saxon]

Thanks, Chuck.

Apologies to the group for omitting a subject.

I was thinking amp first simply because I do have a tuner, although manual, but I do not have 100 watts.  Doesn't sound like either way would be significantly harder than the other.

Thanks & 73,

John,

There are no real issues with installing either the KPA3 or the KAT3. There is a shield that is included with the KPA3 kit (I don’t believe it comes with the base radio, but it has been 4 years since I built my kit) that might be easier to put in before the KAT3. Personally, I’d get them both first but if I could only get one, it would be the KAT3.

73,
Chuck

I have a K3/10 with no add-ons, and now am ready to get a KPA3 100W amp & KAT3 tuner, to install myself.  I would rather not purchase them at the same time.  Is there a more favorable order to get them?  Amp first or tuner first?  I suspect there may be some construction issues that would favor one over the other to be acquired first.
