Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KXV3B installation
Hi Wayne and company, Could you please provide a thumb nail sketch as to how much surgery is required to install the new KXVB3 when the likes of a second receiver and or two meter option are included in the K3? Is there a need to remove the power amplifier for example? How long typically does it take to install the KXVB3 in different scenarios? Thanks for the continuing development and for keeping existing products close to the best performance obtainable. As much as your product it is the Elecraft people and their approach which is so unique. 73 Doug EI2CN -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: 08 June 2015 04:04 To: Jim Sheldon Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KXV3B installation Hi Jim, We intended to post the revised KXV3B installation instructions before shipping it, but they beat us to it.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KXV3B installation
Hi Doug, You don't need to remove the amplifier to put in a KXV3B. If you have a basic K3, you only have to take out the KIO3. If you have a sub receiver or K144XV, they'll need to be removed. But this is all very well documented in our installation manuals, and I can do it blindfolded with a slight hangover in about 15 minutes. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 8, 2015, at 1:24 AM, Doug Turnbull turnb...@net1.ie wrote: Hi Wayne and company, Could you please provide a thumb nail sketch as to how much surgery is required to install the new KXVB3 when the likes of a second receiver and or two meter option are included in the K3?

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] KXV3B installation
…. and I can do it blindfolded with a slight hangover in about 15 minutes. I would like to see that. Would be a great video for the Elecraft web page advertising the engineering and design of the K3. So, you don’t need to have a hangover but maybe blindfolded and a 15-minute timer and the video recording the progress. We can even skip the part of taking the lid or sides off. Post on Youtube and get 50,000 views per week! Sell advertising and then retire to Gilroy to relax in the benefits of your celebrity. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jun 8, 2015, at 8:12 AM, Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com wrote: Hi Doug, You don't need to remove the amplifier to put in a KXV3B.
