Re: [Elecraft] K3 mod history?

2010-12-29 Thread Matt Zilmer
Keeping a DCM-style record of each K3 would be virtually impossible. Factory-installed K3 options could be tracked by the original buyer/owner/builder but not by serial number, since many owners have multiple radios. More to the point, options are also bought/sold/traded in and out of K3's. The

I believe that AFTER November 2009 !! all K3s shipped had the Mod fitted as standard. Ken..G0ORH CW4EVER Sent from my iPhone On 27 Dec 2010, at 22:36, Julian, G4ILO julian.g4...@gmail.com wrote: Was there not a modification required to the original KXV3 on the IF output, a

The mod requires removal of just the front half of the bottom cover, so it is about as easy as could be for a SMT part replacement. 73 de Dick, K6KR On Dec 28, 2010, at 1:41, Julian, G4ILO julian.g4...@gmail.com wrote: Dick Dievendorff wrote: There is a single resistor mod on the RF

Does Elecraft keep a history of each K3 manufactured and the follow on mods? Tracked by serial number? My #250 has been back to the mothership several times for repairs/mods etc. I am not sure if my KXV3 has been changed to the 'A' or not. Thinking about adding the P3 to the lineup and not

The P3 does not require the KXV3A, the original KXV3 works fine. The main addition for the A has to do with a new TMP connector for the K144XV. Dick, K6KR On Dec 27, 2010, at 0:43, cx...@4email.net wrote: Does Elecraft keep a history of each K3 manufactured and the follow on mods? Tracked

Was there not a modification required to the original KXV3 on the IF output, a resistor change or something? It was in the back of my mind that I would need to do this mod if I ever got a P3 or other panadapter. (Though presumably the KXV3A which is on its way to me with a KXV144 doesn't need any

Yes, there was a mod and you get the resistor needed with the P3. You are correct though, the KXV3A does not need the mod. 73, Don, WB5HAK __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:
