DSP/Audio upgrade for K3

[Grant Youngman-2]

Anyone ever heard a fact or rumor (or conspiracy theory related to chemtrails) about what happened to the early advertised DSP board upgrade for the K3 that included the new low distortion AF amp in the K3S??

It was announced as one of the upgrades that would be available for the K3.  Apparently still buried under the cone of silence … but it would be nice to have some definitive answer from Elecraft one way or the other.

Hi Grant

It is the K3DSPUPGD board. It is buried away but only on the Spare Parts
and Mod Kits page on the Elecraft website. I got one a few months ago when
I upgraded my K3 with all the other new boards as well.

The K3DSPUPGD is the Rev D upgrade for earlier K3’s, which I’ve had for a long time (well, actually a Rev C with the LPF board).

The upgrade I’m referring to is the the K3S DSP board (with updated audio amps for reduced IMD).  When the K3S was announced, the indication was that this newer board would be made available to K3 owners as an upgrade.

The upgrade DSP (K3DSPUPGD) is not the board being referenced.  

Here is link to the information as to status and boards offered for use in K3.

The FAQ for the K3s indicated that these K3S DSP boards "May be available
later in 2016..." for use as a retrofit to the K3. I think key word there
being "may". I would expect that once production needs are fully met and
excess becomes available they will be offered as an upgrade for the K3. I
also expect it will be fairly expensive, as this is not just a simple update
to the original K3 DSP board as the older upgrade was.
