Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 K3 Subreceiver Install
It's not hard, but be careful plugging in the small coax cables. If they seem to require a lot of force, you may not have aligned the center pin with the contact in the jack on the KRX3 board. Too much force can damage the jack or the board. On 3/27/2014 5:23 PM, Charles Tropp wrote: Hi Phil, I installed my sub-receiver a few months ago without difficulty.

[Elecraft] KRX3 K3 Subreceiver Install
I have heard a few stories about the difficulty of installing the KRX3 sub-receiver into a K3. Is there a consensus as to whether this is difficult, moderate, or reasonably easy straight-forward to install.

Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 K3 Subreceiver Install
Not difficult,just involved. A second DSP board needs to be mounted to the front panel and a second VCO board needs to be mounted to the bulkhead. After that it's easy. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 K3 Subreceiver Install
Hi Phil, easy ... been there, done that. It only gets difficult if you want to add other options that are mounted below the KRX3 after you did install it as you have to reverse the whole process than! So think about it (i.e. additional filters for the main RX) beforehand and combine it with the KRX3 if needed. 73 gl, Olli - DH8BQA Am 28.03.2014 um 00:07 schrieb Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com: I have heard a few stories about the difficulty of installing the KRX3 sub-receiver into a K3.

Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 K3 Subreceiver Install
I just did this last weekend. Put the whole K3 together, including the KRX3. Just don’t forget to remove the chassis stiffener and all will be well. Oh, and those little coax interconnects that are on the back side of the front panel need to be nice and neat and out of the way. KRX3 went in very nicely… Am 28.03.2014 um 00:07 schrieb Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com: I have heard a few stories about the difficulty of installing the KRX3 sub-receiver into a K3.

Hi Phil, I installed my sub-receiver a few months ago without difficulty. If you have been inside your K3 previously, all will seem familiar.
