Re: Age of a K3S. Serial # 105XX

They are all <2 years old, being (iirc) announced in 2015 and shipping
in 2016. Maybe < 1.5 years.

I was really happy they released the K3S. It allowed me to pick up a
used K3, upgrade it, and save some money.

That’s exactly what I did with my K3 (late s/n)!
Now it’s almost a new K3S!

In reply to this post by John Altman

John,
The order date of my K3S serial #10629 is January 28, 2016. So, I'm guessing
your 105xx order date would be, depending on early 5xx or late 5xx, December
2015 or January 2016.
Be aware John that the early K3Ss, lower than serial # approximately 10700
or 10800 (I don't remember the exact serial #) need some modifications to be
up to current K3S production.
The mods are the IMD mod for the K3LPA and KPA3A, the fan mod and the KPOD
mod so the KPOD can be powered from the front panel KPOD jack.
I just got my K3S back from Elecraft about two weeks ago after having these
mods installed.
I believe Elecraft will perform these mods for free except for shipping to
and from Elecraft.
If I'm incorrect on that I'm sure Don or someone on the reflector will chime
in.

73,
Mark, WB9CIF

Mark,

I don't believe those mods will be done for free, but there may be a
special pricing on them if that is all the work to be done.
If you have other repair work done on your K3S, they will be installed
as part of that process.

Re: Age of a K3S. Serial # 105XX

Yes, Don they did charge me the $99 one-hour fee, but I did have some repair work done on the sub-receiver. So, it took them one hour or less to repair the sub-receiver and put the mods in.

Re: Age of a K3S. Serial # 105XX

Yes, the techs at Elecraft are well practiced and quite efficient.
They also run it through the automated checkout line for you.
Well worth the cost IMHO.
