K3 boards

todd ruby-2
I have a self assembled K3 and at the time I did not want to get the board that had the second SO-239 antenna port but now I do. I do not see it as being available on the Elecraft site. As a matter of fact there is little in the way of further K3 hardware support.
 
Also I wanted to install the KIO3B board with USB and the board that has the 12,10 and 6 meter preamplifiers on it, which is standard on the K3S. Are these boards not possible to be installed on a K3?

Thanks to all

todd

See "KIO3BUPKT  KIO3B Upgrade Kit for K3"
and "KXV3B RX Ant., 2nd Pre-Amp, IF Out and Xverter Interface upgrade
for earlier K3 radios" here:

They're probably listed under K3S.

Easiest is to use the phone, tell them what you want and order it.

Todd,

All that is possible to install on the K3.

You want the KAT3A option for the K3S and K3.  See the K3S order page.

The KIO3B option is available for the K3 as well as the KXV3B - see the
list of upgrades for the K3 on
http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm#k3 - scroll down a bit to
Upgrades for the K3.

73,
Don W3FPR

Re: K3 boards

In reply to this post by todd ruby-2
I just finished installing these two boards in my K3. It took
about 3 hours from checking the contents of the kits to my first
PSK31 QSO. My initial impressions are favorable, particularly
the relative lack of wire clutter behind the K3.

Setting up for digital and adjusting the levels is the same as
with an external sound card. I use VOX for TX control and it
works the same way too.
