[Elecraft] K3: LPF, bass audio, new DSP board: Stirring the pot?

[srife at swbell.net]

	I can't figure out why they are charging 5 bucks for 2 resistors in
the K3 I/O OUTPUT BUFFER KIT, when they are giving away the parts for the
rest of the upgrades for just the price of the postage. Are these two
resistors gold plated or something? I just used a spare 15K 5% leaded
resistor I had in my parts box. 

	Shouldn't that be a give away too Eric?

Well, I ended up ordering the DSP upgrade board today, plus a few other
items.  Everything came to a little under 200 dollars including shipping.
Here's what I ordered:

BNC-MM      $6.95       1     Male-Male BNC
K3DSPUPGD   $89.95      1     K3 DSP Upgr. Swap
K3IOBUFFKT  $5.00       1     K3 I/O Output Buffer Kit
XG2         $79.95      1     3 Band 1-uV and 50-uV Rcv. Te

I figured the XG2 would be a good thing to have around as well.  I can
finally get around to properly calibrating my s-meter.
Slightly OT question though; you know the 1 wire mod that's used to protect
the front end?  Where can I buy the type of wire required?  I think it's
Kynar... whatever it is, its insulated, solid-conductor wire that's around
22 guage.  When I performed this mod several months ago, I had a few of
those small, pre-cut and pre-tinned solid conductor wires included in
breadboard electronic kits, and I used one that was the right length.  I
like to buy a spool of this stuff though for a few more breadboard projects
I'm working on.

Mni tnx es vy 73,
