K3 KXV3-RXA Mod

[Evert Bakker (PA2KW)]

Hello,

 

On my old KXV3 I installed a small PCB with sticky tape. It was an original
Elecraft mod.

As far as I know this mod was installed to improve isolation of the receive
antenna on the original KXV3 board.

Now I'm installing the KXV3A board I have the next question:

 

Do I have to install this RXA mod pcb on the new KXV3A board?

 

73's, Evert PA2KW

Evert,

It has been incorporated into the board.  Your mod PCB will not be needed.

John,

I guess you have "double protection" :-) .
Actually I don't think that is a benefit, and may be a deficit, so I
would remove the 'sticky tape mod'.

Thanks for the replies - and Don, I'll leave it in until I next open the rig  _ I haven't noticed any detriment - but there is no point in having them both in.
