Brian,
Those are in physically different areas of the K3, so I don't think the
order is significant.
If you have the KRX3 installed, I would suggest adding the KBPF3A first
(don't forget the added capacitor to the regulator output), and then
leave the KRX3 assembly out until you have installed the KXV3B. There
is no electrical significance to my suggested order, but without the
KRX3 in place, you will have more "finger room" when installing the KXV3B.
Hint on the KXV3B - remove the left side panel to give you more access,
and slightly form the male pins of the KXV3B to the K3 rear before
trying to insert them into the header. Put the pins on a flat surface
and apply a bit of pressure - you only need to bend them a bit. You
will understand if you first try to put the pins into the header before
bending the pins.
Of course, you could remove the entire rear panel to get the pins to
align, but that is an extreme solution to the problem. The slightly
bent pins will not pose any problem once the KXV3B is fastened in place.

When the K3S first came out, I ordered the new synthesizer boards for my K3,
and they installed easily and worked great.
I also ordered the KXV3B, KAT3A and the KBPF3A. I am just now getting ready
to install these. Does anybody have advice on the best order to install them?
Or any cautions, lessons learned, etc.?
Tnx. 73 de Brian W3BW
