[Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

[George Thornton]

I have built several kits of all kinds going back to Heathkit days and I built my own K2.

I had a lot of problems with the sub-Rx installation.  I have big hands and could not seem to be able to see to line things up properly, not to mention the pesky TMP connectors.

I am at the point with this where I will no longer attempt any mod that requires removal of the Sub-Rx.  Everything goes back to the factory.

Funny.... IMO, some of the best design work I've ever seen....
especially considering the package volume vs. modularity and capability.

However, I WILL confess....

I now own my own TMP tool, TMP connectors, coax stock, and assorted
second end connectors in case I need/want to make one of those cables...

I have not yet needed to make a cable for my own use. But I've made a
bunch for other folks,
