Chuck,

Removing the front panel is easy. It is separating the front panel and DSP board which is more involved.

All you have to do is remove the screws and pull the front panel board off. There are rectangular cutouts on the bottom which can be used to pry the front panel off with a screwdriver. The many pins provide a good grip, so you have to pry it off a bit.

With the K3 (not K3S) you had to remove the left side panel to allow you to remove one screw from the RF Board to 2-D connector which interfered with the removal of the Front Panel assembly, but the K3S has a notch in the board and that step is not necessary.

I will be putting my K3S on the bench this weekend to try to trace an
intermittent bug. Elecraft support has suggested removing the front panel
and checking the seating of the multi-pin connectors.

Are there any tips to make the replacement easier?  As I recall that was
the single most nerve-wracking part of the kit.

Thanks es 73 de Chuck, WS1L
