Last night I installed the new KXV3B board into my K3. Yes, the pins are just a bit long - maybe 1/16 inch. Just long enough that the pins don't clear the J66 socket as stated in the installation instructions.
But after several tries, I was finally able to do it without clipping the leads or any other modification. With one hand, I asserted some upwards pressure on the BNC connectors and some slight downwards pressure on the RF board below. Then with the other hand, I ran my finger along the pins and was able to press them so they mated to the socket. Hope this helps. 73, Mitch NW0M Having problems with install of the KXV3B upgrading from a KXV3A. The pins are two long on the KXV3B, with BNC connectors up as far as they will go in the rear slot? I tried putting the pins in tilting the board with the BNC connectors not out of the slot, it was too much of an angle, they will not go in? I guess I can cut the pins shorter on the KXV3B but wanted to check on that first. Any help would be appreciated. thank you 73 Emory WM3M -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-KXV3B-install-problems-tp7603923p7604034.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
