KIOB3B for K3

Apparently this card is no longer available. Does anyone know what the
price was?

That is a shame, it is a really good upgrade for the K3. A bit expensive
at $399, but I'm really glad I did it.

In reply to this post by Roger D Johnson

I just bought that KIO3B card a few weeks ago. Nice to just have the USB cable do the work of the serial connection and have the audioon its own codec. Still available from the factory as far as I know.

Re: KIOB3B for K3

Hi John - it *may* be a glitch in their new web site - if you enter
KIO3B there is a listing for the main components of the update kit at <
https://elecraft.com/pages/search-results?q=kio3b&narrow=%5B%5B%22Categories%22%2C%2210171482123%22%5D%5D&disable_semantics=1>,
but no whole update kit as such. I have just written them asking for
info on when mine might be available, and if I get anything definitive
I'll post it here. I ordered mine in mid-June.

Re: KIOB3B for K3

In reply to this post by N4ZR

I just sent one of my K3Ss in for repair and asked about upgrades available for my K3. Rob, from tech support told me to send a message to sales for the upgrades I wanted and if they were not available I would be put on a list.
Madelyn replied back saying they did not currently have the K3SYNA or KIOB3 boards available, but would be put on the list.
I ordered a KVX3B board from the website she said they still have a few in stock. Also, the CBLP3Y cable is still available. If you have a P3 you will need that when you upgrade to the KIO3B.
I ordered both.
It appears the K3EXREF is still available. The KBPF3A says unavailable, but it let me put it in my cart. So, I'm not sure about that one. I've sent an e-mail to Madelyn to see what is up with that.
I'll post to the reflector once I have an answer.

73,
Mark, WB9CIF

Bill, I did the same but not fitted yet - would be interested to know your thoughts on fitting. i.e. did you do a F/W upgrade first etc (mines a bit old).

Re: KIOB3B for K3

David
Wow, #174, it sure is on the old side, hi. I have a fairly early one #2995 from 2009.
I already had F/W 5.66 so no need to upgrade for me. The instruction manual advises to upgrade the firmware before installation.The installation is really very easy although I have had mine apart several times for other upgrades over the years and am comfyinside the radio.
I had already done the mod for the KXV3B so was familiar with that area of disassembly but I think this KIO3B install was even easier.
Good luck with the install. Should only take a couple hours if you've done the KXV3B and are familiar but if its your first adventurein modifying the K3 just take your time and don't force anything.

Re: KIOB3B for K3

Hi Bill, yes, it’s one of the first 200 that people pre-ordered and waited nearly a year for, then built themselves (I liked Elecraft, but must say I thought the K2 a little long in the tooth, I was about to buy an FT-2000 - had the money and everything, then Elecraft announced the K3 - well I can tell you, it didn’t take more than 5 mins to get an order off). Never regretted it and love the Elecraft company and service AND the community. Have a P3 (again preorder) and lots of other products.

I have no problem inside the rig etc (it’s quite packed in there now), just haven’t upgraded the firmware for a while. I think I’ll be fine - just waiting for the weather to change - it’s a ‘wet day’ type thing.

Thanks for replying and the ‘good luck’.

Re: KIOB3B for K3

If you've been inside the radio you will be fine. I too like Elecraft very much. K3-P3-KPA1500

Hi Bill, yes, it’s one of the first 200 that people pre-ordered and waited nearly a year for, then built themselves (I liked Elecraft, but must say I thought the K2 a little long in the tooth, I was about to buy an FT-2000 - had the money and everything, then Elecraft announced the K3 - well I can tell you, it didn’t take more than 5 mins to get an order off). Never regretted it and love the Elecraft company and service AND the community. Have a P3 (again preorder) and lots of other products.
I have no problem inside the rig etc (it’s quite packed in there now), just haven’t upgraded the firmware for a while. I think I’ll be fine - just waiting for the weather to change - it’s a ‘wet day’ type thing.
Thanks for replying and the ‘good luck’.

Wow, #174, it sure is on the old side, hi. I have a fairly early one #2995 from 2009.
I already had F/W 5.66 so no need to upgrade for me. The instruction manual advises to upgrade the firmware before installation.The installation is really very easy although I have had mine apart several times for other upgrades over the years and am comfyinside the radio.
I had already done the mod for the KXV3B so was familiar with that area of disassembly but I think this KIO3B install was even easier.
Good luck with the install. Should only take a couple hours if you've done the KXV3B and are familiar but if its your first adventurein modifying the K3 just take your time and don't force anything.

Bill, I did the same but not fitted yet - would be interested to know your thoughts on fitting. i.e. did you do a F/W upgrade first etc (mines a bit old).
