K3 and P3

[Larry Boekeloo]

Hi everyone.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I know I've seen this posted but can't pull it up......

How does one know if your K3 is capable of powering the P3?  Is there a specific serial number or a specific rev level or something?

Thanks.

Larry, KN8N

All K3s are capable of powering the P3 ... however, if you order
the P3SVGA it will come with a modification kit to increase the
current available from the K3 Switched +12V to power the P3SVGA.
See K3MDKIT here:

The K3 will power the P3. Older K3s will need a mod to increase
power output from 1/2 amp to 1 amp if the P3 has a SVGA board.
The mod is included with the SVGA. See <http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K3%20Parts>.

It works very well.
