Old KSYN3 cards

Hi to the group

I received my new KSYN3AUPG card and it works fine. I was going to send Elecraft my old card and sent them an E-Mail to find out where to send it. Howard from Elecraft sent me an E-Mail saying they can not send a used card out with a new order so they would just have to junk my card if I sent it in. That indicates we should all junk our cards locally and save the shipping costs.

It might be worth repurposing for other projects. I'd be interested in
getting a couple for experimenting with, maybe for shipping costs plus a few
dollars to make it worthwhile. But, I LOVE to play with DDS-based stuff, so
that's just me!

I believe the Elecraft labor to test the old KSYN3 cards would likely
exceed the value of the cards.
Since they cannot be sold as new, you might want to advertize them on
the Elecraft reflector in case someone wants the old cards - someone
with a non-sub K3 who wants to add the subRX without upgrading the KSYN3
in the main RX.

From the reports on the improvement obtained with the KSYN3A, I would
think there would be only a few 'takers'. But who knows, it is worth a try.

Could put it in the vacant synth slot for a spare (if you have a
single rcvr K3).

Is it possible to order a KRX3 *without* a synthesizer board? If it were, there would certainly be a better market for the old boards.

I would be much more likely to upgrade to the new KSYN3 for my two K3's, each with two receivers, if I could recover some of the cost by selling the old synthesizers.

The price for a K3-10 kit was $1499.00 in March 2011. The current price
is $1599.00.

According to the original statements, no. The price is the same. Bravo!

Re: Old KSYN3 cards

Hmmmm....if a new board is $200 as a standalone upgrade item, one might
assume it would increase the cost of a new k3 by at least a smaller margin
to help defray design costs.
If not then one could ponder if these other factors are simply applied to
boards sold separately.
Just curious.

I wont be upgrading just yet....first job is to get my K3 to work as
designed. Being an older serial number it has "issues" and a return trip to
the factory is over $850.00 AUD sadly, so for now it is accumulating dust
and age.

Re: Old KSYN3 cards

Or the newer card costs them about the same as the older model; (and) or they'll eat the price difference.

Nice thing about Elecraft is that you can do the updates/upgrades yourself, even piecemeal as a budget allows. Mine is almost never turned off; dust is another matter. ;-). I'll give it an internal dusting when I do the upgrade.

Re: Old KSYN3 cards

It doesn't take faith to keep my radio working.

I put them in because I have so much local noise that I didn't want
mixing products to cover up DX. Whether I can tell or not is a good
question. I just know that the numbers show that it could, and I want
any help I can get to work DX from my compromised urban location.
