[Elecraft] Amp or tuner / Chicken or Egg

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

It does not really make that much difference - there are no 
inter-dependencies.  The assembly manual tells builders to build up the 
K3S with the LPA first, then do the 5 watt calibration - that has 
already been done for you in your K3S/10 Factory assembly. After that, 
install the KAT3 (if you have it), and then install the KPA3, and then 
do the 50 watt TX Gain Calibration.  That order is not really important 
because there is no direct relationship between the KAT3 and the KPA3.
You might want to check the K3S assembly manual and turn to the parts 
after the 5 watt TX Gain calibration has been done and proceed from 
there.  I say that only so you have a sensible guide to completing your 
assembly with the KPA3 and KAT3.

73,
