Hi folks,

My PX3 is up and running! The manual was a delight to follow, and
everything went together swimmingly. Thanks for all the tips -- I had
everything small neatly laid out in an egg carton, and assembling this was
probably the most peaceful hour of my day.

Here is a lousy phone picture of the finished product:

One question: I performed the sideband nulling procedure, and found that my
ideal phase values were similar to the factory ones, but that my ideal
amplitude values were consistently about 25 lower than the factory ones. Is
this indicative of an issue with my equipment, build, or calibration? Or is
it within the expected range of calibration values?

Thanks and 73,

Julie
