KIO3 boards for K3 wanted

Jan Ditzian
I had a power surge in my home (along with everyone else in the zip
code), and it looks like my KIO3 boards took a hit via the computer.  I
tried a new serial-USB converter, and that does not fix the problem.  
Elecraft suggests that the next step be a new set of I/O boards, but, of
course, they no longer make them for the K3, and I will have to spend
$400 for the K3S version, which, while an improvement, is not one that I
need.  If someone has upgraded his/her K3 with the new boards, I would
like to discuss purchase of the old ones, if they are fully working.

Thank you,

Jan, KX2A

Jan, sorry to hear about the surge. Is the local utility working with on
replacing gear? This has happened in my family and the utility covered the
cost to replace the items damaged.

Good luck and 73!
