I note that the KXV3 is no longer listed on the Elecraft web site- just the KXV3A.
I ordered the K144XV-F and upgrade for the KXV3. Since the KXV3A arrived earlier then the K144XV-F (with the DSP upgrade), I installed it at that time. I'm now having second thoughts about the K144XV-F, but I sent the KXV3 back with the old DSP board. Oh, and I had installed PEM nuts in my old stiffener when I swapped DSP boards, to find that the new stiffener has them already! If someone gets a P3 and doesn't need a KXV3(A), it'd be pretty easy to drill a hole for the IF output BNC in the filler panel and buy the cable from Elecraft for less than $110.
