Hi Dave, I can't speak to the module you ordered, but I received on 28 October the KPA3A 100 watt upgrade I had ordered back in spring 2021. The effort to ship upgrades is definitely a 'live effort,' and the Shipping Status updates on the Elecraft web page accurately reflected the status of the

I think you have made wise choices. I purchased my K3 one bit at a time, starting with the K3/10. It was a lot of fun opening the boxes each wek for the next couple of months and installing the latest purchase. And, this is the real beauty of the K3 design. You can add any feature you

John, It sounds like you've made some very good choices. I have 2 K3s sitting on my desk. One has the high-stability oscillator, one doesn't. I don't see any noticeable difference in stability or frequency accuracy between them. As for filters, one has a 2.7 KHz and the other a 2.8 KHz. Once

Another justification for not swapping for the 2.8Khz filter is that even the 8 pole filters will need to be adjusted if you want exact alignment with any other filters. Not a really big deal, but if you're a perfectionist... 73, Tom Childers Radio Amateur N5GE Licensed since 1976 QCWA Life

That argument does not make sense to me. The front panel is not difficult to remove at all. Removing the front panel from the K3 is quite different than disassembling the front panel assembly. Of course, if you have the current budget to purchase it now, yes it is a little easier to include it

Commenting as one who waited to install the DVR: as Don says, it's not all that difficult to do. That said, the DVR is so good, I wished I had purchased it originally. So, I would recommend getting it now because it works so well - not because of difficulty of installation later. 73, Bob W5OV

David The onboard tuner is pretty handy and fast tuning. I have a couple 1KW size outboard manual tuners but still use the K3's often. If you don't contest much and don't plan to record off the air the KDVR3 might be overkill. Last I heard, KDVR3 won't stream rx audio to an external device

You will also need a 2.7 or 2.8 kHz filter for SSB TX. The 6 kHz filter is for AM. The 500 Hz filter is a good choice for CW and Data. The ATU is a very slick and well-integrated device. It memorizes L/C settings for each band, in many segments (see manual). I added the ATU later, but in
