[Elecraft] Final attempt at SOS !!!!

[Fred Jensen]

OK David ... assuming you are not disabled in some way [for the record, 
I am], assembling a K3(S) is not hard and it will work just fine for you 
"right out of the box."  The factory defaults work great, I used them 
for several years before digging into the menus.

I recommend you separate the screws, nuts, and lock washers into 
separate bins by size, a muffin tin or egg carton works well, just don't 
put ESD sensitive components into Styrofoam.  Go slow [this is not a 
sprint], ban the vacuum from your shack until done, and defer working on 
it after a beer or a glass of wine. :-)  Just follow the build 
instructions exactly, and no fooling, check them off.

If your concerns are about shack wiring and usage after build, consult 
this group, be as specific as you can [I recommend one question at a 
time, it seems to lower the hijack rate of your need].  If you've got 
locals, go there first.  Feel free to ask me why I know this.

You're K3(s) will work just great out-of-the-box.
