That said, THANK YOU for taking the time to comment Bruce. Sometimes things
are missed in the review cycle. That's why I watch the reflector for
feedback like yours.
I suspect that what caught you was that I broke an important
procedure-writing rule: that step say

Those who do not have the P3 but who wish to raise the current limit on the
12VDC OUT connector can order it from Elecraft. Order K312MDKT.

See Figure 4 on page 3 of the instructions showing how to remove the fan
panel, "If Equipped with the K144XV, Unplug the ANT3 Cable Here" and an
arrow pointing to the connector on the K144XV module.

My mistake. One of the pictures has a notation to remove this connector. I
sometimes tend to just go by the check-box steps, without looking at the
pictures. I missed this notation when I did mine. The instructions are now

It is being sent to P3 owners who also ordered the P3SVGA. It is the
increased current drain of the P3SVGA board that makes this mod
desirable/required.
I installed mine today, and it works fine. (did it without removing the
KPA3, but many will want to do that.
One issue with the instructions is
It was sent to P3 SVGA adapter purchasers. If you don't have the SVGA
adapter, you don't need it.

Well, I was bored today so I installed the mod. The only problem with the
installation was getting the holes cleaned out after removing the choke &
circuit breaker. My solder sucker finally did the job. I then undid my relay
box from the power leads. I hooked everything up and the mod works fine.

Thanks for the time information. I have my kit and was not sure if/when I
would install it. I have a relay box that externally powers the P3 directly
from my 13.8V power supply.

True, but you must form the leads of the replacement RFC to stand "on end".
I find that much easier to do if I can actually touch the leads while
inserting them in the holes.
Also, for those without a vacuum de-soldering iron, it's easier to clear the
through-plated holes by putting a solder-suck

Yes, it's just three screws to get the KPA3 module out and makes it much,
much easier to reach the parts without damaging anything, especially if you
have the KAT3 installed.
