There is a lot of misinformation out there right now. The K60XV was discontinued due to the lack of a couple of rear adjust 8-60pf trimmer capacitors. I ordered the PC board, the Firmware pic processor, the 4 MHz crystal resonator and the extended dip plugs from Elecraft a couple of weeks ago. Customer service told me Elecraft is looking at mounting SMD capacitors on a little daughter board. I ordered my trimmers from Mouser and soldered them to slivers of protoboard. I am installing my board later today. Note that 3/4 of the circuits on the board are for Transverter support, which is mainly what I wanted. The trimmer caps are used to pull the 40 meter bandpass filter lower to 60 meters. My little daughter boards mount upside down with the trimmer caps centered over the holes in the board.
Now if anyone wants more information, please ask. I went thru a lot to get this board. I was even willing to buy a radio with the board, remove the board and transfer to my radio, then resell the donar radio. I am glad that I never found a radio with the board to buy.
