Elecraft KX3 Ultra Portable HF Transceiver Kit Build 

Thanks for sharing this. Great video. I was wavering on whether or not to get the kit to save some time, but your video shows how laid back the assembly is. I'll spend that extra $100 on another upgrade and be better off for being familiar with the guts of the KX3. 73!

Outstanding video Tim. Thanks very much for taking the time to show the process in such an informative manner. Even though I have not ordered the kit, but rather the factory assembled unit, your video provides excellent insight into the mechanical layout of the KX3. 73 from Canada, Greg

Perfect timing to view your video. My KX3 just arrived.

I was sold on Elecraft --- until I went to get one! The prices were astronomical. I could afford it, but had better use for my money than a pint-size, low-powered rig.

Awesome video. I'm deciding between the KX3 and the Yaesu 817ND....I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the KX3 and didn't think I could build it (Thought it required soldering, etc). Well, thanks to your video I have no doubts I can build this.

Fantastic HAM's equipment!Thanks and 73!

You did a SUPER job

Great video...thanks for sharing. I would love to get one of these portable Ham Radios. 73's VE3NCV - Canada

Just didn't think about it for the video shoot. It works just fine.

Tim, you encouraged me. thanks

Excellent video. Think I will get the factory built version.

Yep, I should have done that for the video. It worked just fine.

Excellent Video Tim, Thanks, Hope to get one soon....73 de Dave 2W0DAA

Thanks very much for this very clear video. 73.

That's fine video that reminds me of heathkit

Your assembly video doesn't show the assembly.

Professional - meaning the video !

LOL! I have been hearing all this talk about a "Kit" radio but this has absoutely nothing to do with building a radio, just pluging the boards together. It is cute though :) Back to W1AW hehe!

How do I buy this product? Where can I find to buy pro come and Brazil? Hug (73) for all!

QRZ Approved

Congratulations! Wonderful video. 73 de VA6POP

Good video. But why didn't you turn it on??? 73, KM4JA

thanks

if you transmit a long time is very hot??? is possible to feed without batteries??? 73' from italy

Much prefer the FT817, The Kx3 is still a be "tinny" for real portable work. Perhaps the kx4 will be a little more developed?

Fine video, OM, but I beg to differ. You are ASSEMBLING a kit NOT building one. You solder components when you build. Get a K2 kit and BUILD that. You will understand. But good job. 71/72, Bill, k6whp

It doesn't get that hot. You can use it with external power using the supplied power cord.

Very professional. Looking to get one when over in Dayton next year. Noel G4PEW / AC9IK

why did they stop the K1????

No smoke test?

TNX and best 73,s

Of course we don't know if it even works!

No soldering required

I note you didn't turn it on....

cool but expensive as Kit

Assembly job, not kit.
