[Elecraft] Which comes first?

[Phil Wheeler]

So then it's all up to you, John: Do you want to 
eliminate manual tuning or have 100 W output more?

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.

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.
