Hello Gary,
I am waiting for my pod to use with a K3. Age means that sometimes my
hands tremble a bit - life is still good. My plan is to get a forty year
old youngster to do the soldering if it looks at all questionable to me.
This is a shame as before becoming an EE I was a technician and as a
youngster built my transmitters from scratch. Well the grass still looks
green to me. It is going to be a delight to finally have the Pod as I
missed it since changing to the K3 from Orion II seven years or so ago.
The job should not take but a few minutes so it should be possible for
you to find a friend in W1 land to do the necessary for you. We help each
other in this hobby.
Enjoy your radio.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 mod for K-Pod level of difficulty
For me the hassle is I power the P3 from the K3s. Unfortunately, my
K3s serial # is 10622, so I need to do the mod or have the extra
wires on my desk. It would be nice if a 9V battery could be placed
inside as a powering option.
