I am installing the 100 watt PA in the K3. In fact, I just finished and the only steps are replacing the top and bottom cover panels. There is the step where you place the PA board in place mating the two connectors to the KPAIO3 board. This is covered in the top part of page 16 of my KPA3 installation guide. I had no problems with this step and I finished it up by putting the 3 screws into the rear shield per the instructions.
Question: after I finished I was looking from the rear and noticed that threw a little hole (looks like one of those standoff mounting holes in the PCB) in the KPAIO3 just to the right of the left connector, I can see a toriod wound inductor that is mounted on the underside of the KPA3 and it looks like it is right next to the inside of the KPAIO3 board, likely touching. I know that this inductor wire is insulated but is this the normal circumstance? I hope I explained this question well enough. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
