It's relatively easy Ted. You don't even need to remove the case covers. You remove the front panel assembly by removing 3 screws on top, 2 screws on bottom and then prying the FP assembly apart with a screwdriver in two slots on the bottom. R82 is visible at the lower left area of the reverse side of the FP module. You solder either a 0603 SMD or 1/8 W 6.8 ohm leaded resistor across R82 (i.e. in parallel with the existing 10k). If you're not accustomed to SMD, the 0603 type is not a good one to learn on because it's so small. Elecraft supplies both resistors in the kit. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-mod-for-K-Pod-tp7619427p7619458.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]
