[Elecraft] K3 DSP change out

[Bill Hammond]

I replaced the K3 DSP board yesterday.  So far, I am delighted with the new noise level.  I have always been a bit disappointed in the old noise level/quality preferring the K2 receiver in the noise department.  

The replacement DSP card came with no instructions.   if you replace yours, I suggest that you download the "KRX3 Installation manual" .  The first 15 or so pages will get you where you need to be.  I also added the KXV3A board to my K3 just in case I can't live without the P3 when it arrives.  :)

I took a few pictures of the operation available here:

You are welcome to look at all of the photographs but the first ten shots deal with the replacement including a short video of the test after installation.

Now, off to the mail with the old DSP card.
