Since the radio is as modular as it is, and most of us actually did the assembly, swapping boards by mail to upgrade should certainly be a possibility.
I can do some SMT work, so I'll certainly consider that, although I'm also a short, interesting, trip from Aptos. 73, doug Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 09:39:10 -0800 From: Vic K2VCO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> G4ILO wrote: > However, many K3 owners will not have the skills to > perform these mods. I don't think that's FUD, just fact. With regard to the mods that I know about, they are easy. Someone who does not own a soldering iron or is uncomfortable can pay someone to do it for him. Just like he would with Yaecomwood. Except that the layout of the K2 is open, it's easy to disassemble, component density is low, and -- ultimately -- you will have complete documentation. I don't see why imaginable issue has to be cast as some kind of failure by Elecraft, when in fact they do a better job of meeting user needs in situations like this than anyone else. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
