Hello group, Just finished installing the K3 output buffer modification this afternoon. I used the SMD resistor, and not the leaded part. Anyway, the most difficult aspect was soldering the replacement back on and ensuring it didn't move. I think I was successful. I may have chipped a tiny piece of the black surface of the resistor off with the tip of the screwdriver used to hold it in place during soldering. I believe its fine as I still get a 13k ohm reading from my multimeter. I know I shouldn't test with the resistor already soldered, but its the best I can do for now.
Anyway, question here is how do I test to make sure that the mod was successful? Unfortunately I do not have a spectrum analyzer. Better yet, how to ensure that my modification didn't screw anything up? Anything I should test for right away? Mni tnx es vy 73, James K2QI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
