In addition to Wayne's comments, 

1) Do the parts inventory even though your fingers are itching to start
assembly. That's something many of us skip over and finding and identifying
each part before you start helps avoid confusion during assembly. There's no
"Aaaaargh!" moment as bad as discovering that you used the wrong screw a few
pages back and now you don't have it when it is needed. Besides, doing that
in some steps can damage parts. 

2) Be sure to check off each step in the assembly instructions. Check boxes
are provided. Skipping a step is one of the most common reasons why a
builder has to "back up" and reassemble a portion of the kit again after
leaving something out. Checking the boxes helps make a skipped step stand
out before you go too far.

3) If a step is not clear, feel free to drop me a note (ron at elecraft.com or
ron at cobi.biz). I wrote the manual and the primary reason I try to keep an
eye on this reflector is to pick up any issues people might report
assembling their kits. Of course, during regular M-F business hours you can
also contact k3support at elecraft.com. I'm not at the factory, so they are the
people to contact in the unlikely event something is missing. 

4) Have fun building. Have fun operating. 

73, Ron AC7AC
