In case anyone is wondering, my K3 is running tickety-boo now that the
KIO3 board has been replaced (thanks to Gary Surrency for diagnosis and
the rest of Elecraft service folks who got me the replacement board tout
suite!). And, uh, the 80-meter only decrease in sensitivity was most
Hi, all, hope someone can help! I have updated my K3 with just about

2008 (ser no 584) and never had trouble -- until now. The K3 Utility
suddenly reported that no K3 communications are available. I've done

Hi, Matt, I'm not using a USB hub, my system used to work with a
straight cable from a com port to the K3 or with the Elecraft/Prolific
USB to rs-232 cable but no go, no matter which of four port I have. I
also have checked for proper mating of the KIO3 but no go. It still
confounds me why
K3 #584 must have had the old audio pots which are fantastic -- they
have a solid feel to them and coupled with the knobs (which sorta add to
the old-timey flavor) it reminds me of knobs on my Drake 2B or an old
Hallicrafters radio!

The Elecraft Web site indicates its a simple operation to switch from
the 2 band to 4 band boards, to give you all 6 bands.
How many people really do this ?
I just bought a used K1 and it has a 4 band installed and a extra 2 band
board, it sure doesn't look that easy,

It's funny to read about the K1 on 160M.
Last week, I emailed Wayne and asked if a KX160 (160M/80M version of the

He said it was doable, even the autotuner (!) but the market would be too
limited to make the actual product.
My money is ready. I

My new 2 band board is for 160 and 80 meters. Works really great.
If you don't get an answer from the people who did the change, I'll searchup the
