Components for the K3 AF mod K3AFMDKT and for Larry Phipps' suggested IF output to panadapter mod, plus spares, are available to the UK and EU as a single package from a UK source at a low price. £3.50 posted to UK addresses and £4.00 posted to EU addresses.
A couple of years ago, I chanced upon Mode Components, run by Chris, G8CHW and have placed some orders as a result. He's always been utterly dependable and I've been impressed by the careful way in which his deliveries are packed and identified. Even more impressive is the effort Chris has been prepared to put into searching for and obtaining components made of "unobtanium". Without his help, a couple of boat anchors that were scrap have had new life soldered into them and are working well. He provides a very "personal service" HI!
Over the last few years, UK and EU have benefited from the exchange rate when purchasing Elecraft equipment, but our Pounds or Euros now buys far less dollars. This made the K3AFMDKT, at $10 plus shipping seem expensive, so I asked Chris if he could obtain the identical choke that Elecraft supply. In typical fashion, Chris went digging and came up with the exact goods.
Because of overheads involved in export, it is burdensome for Elecraft to export the K3AFMDKT, so this alternative kit is being offered to K3 owners in the UK and EU WITH Wayne's BLESSING.
See Mode Components website at http://www.modecomponents.co.uk and order part number K3MODKIT#1.
I can answer most queries due to involvement in this small project, contact me off list, or if you want to contact Chris, you can do so by email to sales at modecomponents.co.uk
