I was pleasantly surprised at how fast <a href='http:\/\/www.elecraft.com\/'>Elecraft<\/a> processed my order.  It arrived Thursday evening.  I started assembly last night, worked some more this morning and afternoon and now have a fully assembled K3\/100 sitting on my work table.  <\/p>\n<p>I was very impressed with the assembly instructions provided.  They were very clear, step-by-step instructions with plenty of diagrams and pictures to make sure that nothing went amiss.  I am very happy with my purchase.  Now I just have to wait until Monday and Tuesday for the remaining shipments of gear and supplies to get my HF radio on the air.  I am still missing my 30A power supply, coax, and antenna.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the assembly process&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;\"><a href=\"\/files\/images\/img_3974.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/images\/img_3974.preview.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"float:left;\"><a href=\"\/files\/images\/img_3978.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/images\/img_3978.preview.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"float:left;\"><a href=\"\/files\/images\/img_3979.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/images\/img_3979.preview.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been saving my pennies (er, dollars) for almost 18 months so I could buy myself a shiny new HF base station radio without breaking the bank.
