Hi Doug, You don't need to remove the amplifier to put in a KXV3B.
If you have a basic K3, you only have to take out the KIO3. If you have a sub receiver or K144XV, they'll need to be removed. But this is all very well documented in our installation manuals, and I can do it blindfolded with a slight hangover in about 15 minutes. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 8, 2015, at 1:24 AM, Doug Turnbull <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Wayne and company, > Could you please provide a thumb nail sketch as to how much surgery is > required to install the new KXVB3 when the likes of a second receiver and or > two meter option are included in the K3?
