K3 upgrade

Do I understand correctly that to upgrade a K3 SN 7500 series with the KXV3A installed - only requires the
KXV3B board for upgrade with the additional preamp , not the entire KXV3B ?

Re: K3 upgrade KXV3 or B

Hi Hank;
The KXV3, in any revision, is a two-board set that is already soldered
together.
You replace the whole thing, never are they taken apart.

I believe it’s 3 boards. It included a back panel board with USB and a RJ45 that replaces the DE-9 for serial connection. If you have a P3 there is a “Y” cable that connects the TJ45 to the two P3 serial ports.

Re: K3 upgrade

That is a KIO3B, Not a KXV3B.
One is for computer & AuxIO communications, the other has BNC connectors for various RF functions.
