KRX3 & KDVR Install

[James Denneny]

Can anyone tell me if the future installation of KDVR will also require
removal of front panel?  If yes, I may wait for its availability to install
both items at the same time.  The Elecraft website says KDVR should be
available following production release of KRX3 - whatever that means.

Yes.  The DVR plugs into the main DSP board, just like the Aux DSP for
the KRX3.

Thanks Lyle.

I have both KRX3 and KDVR on order. If I'm in no hurry, how much work  
might I save by waiting for the KDVR and then installing both at once?

The difference is the amount of time to pull and re-install the front
panel, versus the operating flexibility lost not having the KRX3 while
you wait for the DVR.

I'd guess about 30 minutes, since it would be the second time you would
have installed the front panel (third if your K3 is a kit) and you'd be
very, very careful.  I've done it enough times that it takes me about 6
to 10 minutes.

now that I received my katiegram for the second receiver....I have
read the instructions. Looks like I need to make a decision whether
to hook the 2nd rcvr aux in  to the unused ( non- transmitting) KAT3
ANT port...
or the ext BNC......   Since I can't cogitate the correct choice for
my "mess o wires"...
I will read the instruction a few more times, so my first guess might
be correct.

  I wonder if there is any harm to bringing an extension from the bnc
up to near the KAT3 jack...   then when I pick the wrong
implementation, I only have to pop the lid and move the plug.
decisions  decisions.....   ain't  life swell......
with such problems....

I will read the instruction a few more times, so my first guess might
be correct.nc on the back...

Also , I do want to sneak out the 2nd rcvrs "if out" to a bnc on the backi.
