My Elecraft K3 Kit Build

Picture

Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased an Elecraft K3 transceiver in kit form.  Here are some pictures I took during the build process.  Basically took me two weekends to complete.  The weekend of 9/24/11 and 10/1/11.  I didn't really get time during the week to work on it.  The radio is a significant improvement over other radios I've used,  It was a real joy to build, and performs beautifully.  I've now built the entire K3 line of equipment.  I started with the KPA500, built the K3 second, and finally, built the P3 Pan Adapter recently to add to the line.   All were built from kit form and all work well together.
