Installed two KSYN3As today; worked V73NS on 10M/CW right after so I guess all is good. Installation fairly easy, though one suggestion for a revision to the instructions, noted below.
More immediate question: What¹s the best thing to do with the old boards? As I understand it: (a) KRX3 sub receivers are now shipping with the new synths. (b) It doesn¹t work to have one old and one new. (c) Therefore anyone adding a KRX3 now has to buy an additional KSYN3A. And (d) - I think I saw this here a while ago - Elecraft (wisely) doesn¹t want to deal with the old synths we-all remove. So, those of us who have upgraded don¹t use the old ones but someone who wants to after-install a KRX3 might want one to avoid the additional $189. (That¹s assuming a new KRX3 will work with an old KSYN3 - is that the case?) If I have all of that right, what¹s the wise thing to do with old synths - some way to match up those who have them with those who want them? My suggestion about the instructions: The last step of the installation instructions is the Initial Checks. Calls for checking SYN1 and SYN2 on the VFO B Display. Fine; except SYN1 and SYN 2 don¹t appear on Display unless Tech Mode is ³ON² in Config. Since it is recommended that Tech Md be normally off, I puzzled for a while about why Display wasn¹t showing the SYNs - and then I read Fred Cady¹s book, which toggled my memory about Tech Md. Maybe the instructions could add that, for those who - like me - don¹t remember everything all the time. Also installed the P3 SVGA today. One anomaly there; will ask for help later if I can¹t work it out.
