[Elecraft] I/O mod kit REMIOUPGD (P/N E850235)

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I have no clue what I received then.  I will have to try to find the
receipt.

What board ships with new K3's?  I think it is the one that has some of the
mods and the pull up resistors for TTL levels.

I went this route and updated (2) K3's with the E850235 boards. The boards
are $20 verses the kit with some resistors spec. to 1% is $15.

For the record, I'm posting this response from Lyle KK7P to me (his comments
preceded by ###):


    Which of the following mods involving the KIO3 does this affect?

###I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try and answer anyway.
###I assume by E850237 you mean the KIO3 Remote (aka Digital) IO board that
is included in the REMIOUPGD mod kit. I believe the correct part number for
this is E850235.



    **K3 AF OutPut Mod Kit*

###No impact, not part of the digital IO board.



    **Improving the Immunity of the Rear-Panel RS232 and Audio Connectors to
RF

unity_of_the_Rear-Panel_KIO3_RS232_and_Audio_Connectors_to_RF.pdf>

###Ground return inductor mod on the RS232 port only.
###The RFI mods list some optional inductor bypasses.  The optional ones are
not done on the new board; they are still optional based on your shack,
environment and station system design.



    **K3 AF Mod kit

###No impact, not part of the digital IO board.



    **K3 Negative ALC and Ext Band Data Pull-up Mods
<http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/K3ALCMod_Rev_B.pdf>

###Does the digital IO board portion.  The RF board cuts portion *must*
still be done.



To summarize:

1.  The board involved is the KIO3 Remote IO (aka "Digital") Board, P/N
E850235 and is available for $20 plus shipping as REMIOUPGD on this page:
http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#K3%20Parts

2.  Installing this board can be done in lieu of grounding the RS232 Ground
Choke on the Remote I/O Module as shown in Figure 5 of the mod "Improving
the Immunity of the Rear-Panel RS232 and Audio Connectors to RF".  The other
parts of this mod on page 3, affecting the KIO3 Audio I/O Module, must still
be performed.

3.  Installing this board can be done in lieu of pages 3-4 of the mod "K3
Negative ALC and Ext Band Data Pull-up Mods".  However, cutting the two
traces on the RF board (under the bottom front cover) must still be
performed as shown on page 2 of the mod instructions.

I hope this clears up any confusion.  Hopefully I got everything right
(please correct me if I didn't Lyle).

73,  Bill  W4ZV
