I agree. I think I've done all the Elecraft-recommended mods for my K3 S/N 847:
AF upgrade (LINE OUT & speaker amp), AF Amp output, Synthesizer ALC, Front-panel mic circuit, Rear-panel RF filtering, IF output buffer gain, KPA3 12V sense, front-end protection, and VFO tuning noise. That looks like a big list, but all of the mods are easy to do and free or low cost. The only mods I did that cost significant money are the KIO3 Remote I/O upgrade ($20) and DSP board upgrade ($70), but those are optional. I just did them just so I would be able to say that my K3 is totally up to date - they really are not necessary at all. The only "expensive" ($50) upgrade that would not be optional is the KXV3A, which is necessary if I ever decide to get the K144XV. Al N1AL On Fri, 2010-02-12 at 13:54 -0800, Leigh L.
