[Elecraft] KRX3 Issue - Jumper W4.... rtfm

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

My apologies Bill. The soldered jumper was where I said it was on the Rev XD
(preproduction) board that I have. 

Wayne said he was moving it to a plug-in wire jumper because it was too hard
to get to it with the KIO3 board in place, so I never considered the
possibility that it had been moved on the Rev A boards since none of the
field testers apparently had those boards (or noticed the error). 

As you can see in the manual, it's gone entirely from the Rev B board used
in the illustration there. 

I'll make an errata note for the manual to avoid anyone else becoming
confused by the note that it's on the other side of connector J64A.

Thank you very much for following up with the photo and clearing up the
issue! Comments and corrections like yours are the biggest reason I monitor
the reflector.

nope,,,,,  the jumper      it is NOT between , as described in the manual
....

I sent this note to support :on July 16th,,,

the w4 jumper  is NOT between the w4 jumper block and the Kio boards,,,,,
  I kept looking to make certain i was looking at the w4 
jumper....(which I was)

and you do need to take out the general coverage board to get access 
to clip it ( w4)  cleanly...  it went right into   # 44

And since it was contradictory to the instructions in the manual i rechecked
it a zillion times ... checked the schemo... then cut w4

For  Ron I have attached a pix, which will get stripped by the 
reflector for the crowd.
While there is a jumper located as described , W4 is just in front of 
the connector.
