[Elecraft] K3- KRX3 and DVR Installation Sequence
I received my KRX3 (ordered with K3/100 #474 on 6/22/07) this past Monday. As we all know, the DVR ordered at the same time is still back ordered. After looking over the KRX3 installation manual I wonder if anyone on the reflector has looked into what will be necessary to install the DVR when it finally arrives. Will there need to be a substantial amount of disassembly of the K3 to get the DVR installed? If this is the case, I will probably hold off on installing my KRX3 until the DVR unit arrives and do it all in one operation. I've not been able to find any documentation on the DVR installation at this point. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places. Any thoughts fellow Elecraftonians? 73, Terry, W0FM K3/100 #474 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

... wonder if anyone on the reflector has looked into what will be necessary to install the DVR when it finally arrives... The DVR is a small PCB that attaches to the Main DSP, just below the Aux DSP. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Terry, the DVR installation is a moot point as far as whether you should delay KRX3 installation. Once installed, KRX3 removal is quite simple and can be accomplished in about one minute. You should go ahead and install your KRX3. 73, Barry N1EU -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3--KRX3-and-DVR-Installation-Sequence-tp789670p789717.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3- KRX3 and DVR Installation Sequence
My experience is that although it only takes a minute or so to remove the KRX3, it takes quite a lot of time to re-install. Most of that time being taken up in routing the coax cables. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:27:40 -0700 (PDT), Barry N1EU wrote: Terry Schieler wrote: Will there need to be a substantial amount of disassembly of the K3 to get the DVR installed?

Most of that time being taken up in routing the coax cables. Only disconnect the KRX3 ends of the 3 TMP cables. Just leave them in place and secure them out of the way with an alligator clip to the KPA3 shield. To reinstall, just plug in the 3 cables and drop the KRX3 in. It only takes a couple of minutes. The speed of KRX3 reinstall is a moot point relative to the DVR since as Lyle described, you don't need to remove the KRX3 to install the DVR. You just need to remove the front panel. 73, Barry N1EU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

There is no need to remove the KRX3 to install the small DVR board.

That's a good technique, must remember it for the next time.

My front panel is getting quite a bit easier to fit with each removal and reinstallation :-) 73 Stewart G3RXQ 73, Barry N1EU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
