K3 KXV3 mods?

There was going to be a change to the KXV3 RX Ant I/O and Transverter card to
increase protection from RF. The change was going to be cut into production and
a future mod kit offered to owners not having the change.

I have a K3 ordered and am considering adding the KXV3 option. Has the mod been
made already in units now being shipped? If not, I will wait and order it after
the change is included in the boards being shipped.

Re: K3 KXV3 mods?

As my K3 was shipping earlier this week, I inquired of Elecraft sales on this question. As best they knew, the KXV3 mod has not yet been introduced into production. I asked them to back-order my KXV3 until the mod is available. No expected availability date as of my conversation on Tuesday, but that was without any input from Wayne/Eric.

Re: K3 KXV3 mods?

It sure would be great if that was posted on Elecraft's website, don't ya think?

Speaking of postings on Elecraft's website, anyone else notice that
they never updated their "Web Page Additions and changes" page with
the price increases (which clearly, constituted a "change")? Also,
they continue to give the KRX3 high emphasis, despite that it's not
yet available.

I would think that making these web page updates would be simple.
After all, as one sage here said "it's only software". ;-)

Par for the course, I reckon.

Steve..

It seeems to me you'd be happier with a "cast in stone" Yaecomwood product.
No product improvement / enhancement expectations and no one
who gives a damn to complain to.

Re: K3 KXV3 mods?

Yes, if your so unhappy I hope you have cancelled your order so mine will
come sooner. (If you have ordered one and not just spreading negative ideas
which certainly dont help Elecraft or the reflector) Jim K4JAF
