K3 DSP Upgrade Board

[Terry Schieler]

I ordered my DSP upgrade board on 12/28/09 and resisted Elecraft's recent
offer to send my old board back for a quick turnaround on the upgraded board
install.  It was a very nice gesture, but I just couldn't pull it off at the
time.

I got an email from Lisa on May 5, 2010 saying my DSP upgrade board would
ship in "1-2 days".  The next day, I got a notice that it shipped on 5/6/10.
On 5/8/10 it was in my mailbox here in St. Louis!

I had a busy week, but yesterday I completed the board swap (along with the
IF buffer mod).  The old board will go back to Aptos on Monday.

After the install I downloaded the latest version of K3 Utility and upgraded
my K3 firmware to the latest version.  Smooth as silk.  So smooth that I
wonder if I had missed something. ;o)

Is there anything else that needs to be done to complete the DSP board
upgrade or the IF buffer mod?  Menu setting changes??

Trying hard not to sound like a broken record, many thanks to the folks at
Elecraft who just keep on keepin' on!

Hi Terry.
No new menu settings need to be made or changed as a result of the DSP
upgrade or the IF buffer mod. Just make sure you that if you have the subRX
installed, you have the same firmware version in the main and sub DSP. It is
also always a good idea to have the latest version of the K3 utility on the
computer, and the latest version of firmware files in the rig.
Enjoy!
