Hint: Prop mirrors so you can see the ends of both 0.1" DIP connectors off to the R and L sides of the K3. Some little 2" compact mirrors work for this, so ask your XYL for used compacts if anyone still actually uses them.
You can see both connectors, then you'll at least get the outside end pins seated, a good starting advantage. 73, matt W6NIA K3 #24 == On Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:58:43 -0600, you wrote: >The upgrade is pretty simple.
