Any K3S later than serial number 10787 (kit) or 10801 (factory assembled) can power the K-Pod without further modification. The change was made on all subsequent units.
So I'd hazard the guess that yours is "ready to roll" without any further issues. Yes, the K-Pod Owner's manual advises owners of older K3s or K3 rigs that Elecraft will do the mod for them. Optionally, you can simply power the K-Pod from the 12 VDC power connector on the back panel of the K3. A suitable power cable is included with the K-Pod. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of lmarion Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2016 4:23 PM To: Dauer, Edward; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 mod for K-Pod level of difficulty Any one who can show pictures and advise me on the K3S mod would be a big help. I have had a stroke since building the K2 100, and every thing else Elecraft has ever made. And it took my dominant right side to boot. So I am debating whether to send it to Elecraft for the mod or if I am able to do it "left hand". Its $99 plus shipping to have Elecraft do it. I just bought the K3S and Kpod at the same time. I think they should have done the mod before they shipped it, since they had the rig apart already to install the many options I ordered. Maybe a phone call and or email to buyers in the future sales to let buyers know there is a mod that is nice to have. Just in case you want the pros at Elecraft to do it if you are not able.

Has anyone yet done the K3 mod that allows DC power through the data cable? How did it go?
