[Elecraft] Installing the K3 AGC Mod (SMD)

[srife at swbell.net]

    I guess I haven't kept up too closely. Are we doing mods to the K3 
already?  Is this a factory sanctioned mod?

If you have a DMM with a diode check feature, just probe the LED terminals.
When you have the positive lead on the anode the DMM will indicate a forward
biased diode junction and the LED will light up!

It won't work with modern DMMs in "ohms" scale because they limit the
current too much to avoid damaging parts, but "diode check" works FB.

I am getting ready to install the SMD AGC mods.  The LED chip replacing R101
has two little green dots on it.  Can someone give me the orientation of
this chip.  I don't know which side is the cathode.  Thanks,  Roy Morris
