I now have a lot of various extras and mods to add to my K3 - KRX3,
KDVR3, all the mods
- all because I haven't had the time or need to practice SMD or are
waiting for the last bits (some of which I've asked Elecraft to hold
so they ship as one) - all of which are going to arrive soon :-)

Dave,
That question has a 'double edged sword' answer, so it all depends.
1) Either you make an error in applying the mod -
2) OR (IMHO more likely) you create some unrelated problem when you
reassemble the K3.
Reassembling and checking after each mod will reveal the first type
problem, but
Thank you Don, I'm aware of your considerable experience with all
things Elecraft and will take your valued advice - it will be easier
that way anyway.
If anything over confidence is my problem :-)

Thanks for the comment, to which I concur. BTW I found my
configuration error. I use a WinKeyer USB externally, which
interfaces well with my logging programs. My temporary problem was
self-induced, and in the PC configuration.
Indeed, the K3 QSK is as good as any of my TenTec radios,
I played around with NEW/OLD QSK a bit and find that when when keying
with a strong signal on freq that that NEW QSK makes a significant
difference and I much prefer it, at least for speeds up to 25 wpm or
so.

While I have the front panel off to install the KDVR3, I would like to jumper

Also the L7 on the KIO3 board? Thanks Roy Morris

You might split the difference on the hardware installs.
The KDVR3 and Aux DSP board for the KRX3 require pulling the front panel
assembly. Also, if you are planning to do the microphone grounding mod
covered in the app note (to eliminate the pin 1 problem) you can do them
at the same time.

It works at 100W SSB with 10-20dB compression.
For CW at 20WPM you need to go down to 70W or so.
It would not be good for RTTY or MFSK or other 100% duty cycle modes
past 20W or so. Think of it as a 5A switching supply if you're usign
100% duty cycle.

I have one for casual portable operation. I hear it just a little bit, so I

Using the most current K3 F/W, I compared the New versus Old QSK
configuration using a dual-trace scope and an external keyer
Listening in the headphones, I detect little difference in weighting and
T/R recovery time.
I made that comparison while listening to the side-tone. When listening to
my K3'd off air CW signal on another receiver, the weighting difference
between New QSK and Old is certainly perceptible.
I agree that the weighting is too light with the New QSK enabled.
