[Elecraft] Sub RX installation

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

 That was me :)
It makes it easier since you can see the connectors better

There was an exchange on the reflector about two weeks ago on the subject
of installing the SubRX.  It was the most difficult part of the process
for me when I built mine.  The key is to get the K3¹s left side panel out
of the way.  The builders manual says to remove it (page 12), and to
replace it later (page 20).  But one person - I have forgotten who -
believed that it would be easier to leave that panel off until later in
the installation.  I just followed the instructions so I can¹t testify to
the suggestion myself - you can probably find the posts in the archive.
