New K3 owner here

AD9DX
Greetings all, I just purchased a K3 s/n 0378 at a hamfest yesterday. I had sold my Yaesu FT-2000d last week hoping to buy a kit on Monday but the deal was too good to pass up.

My rig is as follows:
K3-100
ATU
2.8 5 pole
400 8-pole
General coverage module
Microphone

All told the rig set me back $1800

I did the firmware update this afternoon and had to re solder the microphone wires inside its case. All seems to be working well thus far.

I read that there are some hardware updates that Elecraft has made to the rig over time... Are these worth doing or are they best left undone unless a problem comes up?

Also, I don't see the offset for the five pole filter written anywhere is there a way to figure that out so when I purchase the sub receiver I can make sure that everything tracks well?

Jon, iirc, if you remove the larger bottom  panel, you can read the offset from the filter itself.
