Installed mine today. I already had the KXV3A installed and
consequently didn't need to access jumpers W1 and W2 on the RF board.
I decided to see if, by removing the side panel I would have sufficient
access and visibility to swap out the module without having to first
remove the K144XV and the sub-RX.
It can be done, with care. Whatever, I would suggest removing the side
panel no matter which route you take.
Hate those TMP connectors.
Looking forward to S-meter ABS mode being coded to compensate for the
extra gain of PRE 2.
One more thing. I did the recommended TX gain calibration which went OK
using the K3 Utility. Thought that given the RX signal path had been
modified I would do the RX gain calibration.
Again used the K3 Utility with XG3 on 20m so PRE 2 shouldn't be a
feature. Failed completely with a couple of different error codes the
detail of which I cannot remember except for one which suggested I
reload the DSP firmware. More scary was that the RX seemed suddenly
deaf only to discover the RX ant function had been activated.
