I note that the KXV3 is no longer listed on the Elecraft web site-
just the KXV3A.

I ordered the K144XV-F and upgrade for the KXV3.  Since the KXV3A
arrived earlier then the K144XV-F (with the DSP upgrade), I installed
it at that time.  I'm now having second thoughts about the K144XV-F,
but I sent the KXV3 back with the old DSP board.

Oh, and I had installed PEM nuts in my old stiffener when I swapped
DSP boards, to find that the new stiffener has them already!

If someone gets a P3 and doesn't need a KXV3(A), it'd be pretty easy
to drill a hole for the IF output BNC in the filler panel and buy the
cable from Elecraft for less than $110. USD.

   In an email to the reflector on Feb. 17, 2010 with subject line "Re:  
   [Elecraft] For you Anti-Scopes" from Eric Swartz, Ted Roycraft had  
   asked:

   >> 1) If you purchase a P3, do you also have to purchase a KXV3A or will
   >> one be included?

   And Eric answered:

   > your K3 will need to have the KXV3 or KXV3a for IF output. Its not
   > included with the P3 since most K3s already have added it.
