[Elecraft] K144XV & KRX3A, install which first in K3s?

[Carl Jón Denbow]

OK, Don, I've run into a little confusion: the bottom of page 11 of the 
K144XV instructions has details about installing a new back panel with 
an ANT 3 hole. However, I don't have a replacement panel and my K3s back 
panel already has an ANT 3 hole.   A few pages earlier the instructions 
have a note to skip over some items if you have a K3s, but this is not 
one of them; in fact, the skip instructions say to resume at this 
point.   It seems to me that I actually need to resume somewhere down 
the page on page 12, but I'm having a little trouble figuring out 
where.   Thanks for any further help you can give me.  -- 73 de Carl, N8VZ
