Re: K3/K3S Accessory Interest List

I have no interest in a KIO3B but I happened to click on the link in
Pete's post and saw that this is an interest list for a number of
K3/K3S options such as the DVR, sub receiver, antenna tuner, pan
adapter etc. The K3 line is a very popular line and the K3S was only
recently discontinued. I hope that this K line will be around for a
long time and unlike Windows 7, support will continue! A month or so
ago I purchased antenna tuners for my K3S's and I may have received
the last ones. I changed the email subject and I urge anyone who wants
K3/K3S accessories to click on the link below.

I just heard from Elecraft Sales that they are not going to fill my
mid-June order for the KIO3B update kit unless they get sufficient
interest to get "reasonable" prices from their suppliers. They don 't
define what that means, but if you have any interest at all in the K3
KIO3B update kit, go to

<https://elecraft.com/pages/k3-k3s-options-interest-form>

and tell them so - otherwise they may never restock these excellent
updates for the K3.

Re: K3/K3S Accessory Interest List

The list at that link does not include filters. So what does one do if
they want a filter?

Re: K3/K3S Accessory Interest List

Inrad made the 8-pole filters https://www.inrad.net/home.php?cat=140 and
they should still be available. I am not sure where the 5 and 6 pole
filters were made.

Good point, John. I don't envy Elecraft all their supply chain
problems, but it does seem a little soon to be dropping any or all of
those items.

It's my understanding that the spec is tighter for the filters they
supply to Elecraft than for their general production.

Elecraft screens each Inrad filter that they sell but few are
rejected:

Re: K3/K3S Accessory Interest List

Wayne indicated the INRAD filters were tested for (passive) IMD
(e.g. "low activity" crystals) at high signal levels.
