I thought that the mod was in all K3's after s/n 3600-something or other, but there are probably experts around (or Elecraft crew) that know the exact cut-in s/n or date. 73, matt W6NIA On Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:05:22 -0800 (PST), you wrote: >Can someone explain the real world value of making this modification?
