[Elecraft] (K3) 12VDC Current Mod Kit Received

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes, it's just three screws to get the KPA3 module out and makes it much,
much easier to reach the parts without damaging anything, especially if you
have the KAT3 installed.

I just received this kit which increases the current available at the 12V DC
Out jack on the K3 to drive a P3 with P3SVGA. The kit consists of replacing
a surface mount diode, a through hole fuse and through hole choke. Elecraft
sent me this kit without my asking.   :)

I have not installed it yet but the diode is accessed by removing the bottom
panel. The fuse and RFC replacement require removing the top cover, fan
assembly and the KPA3 module (optional but recommended). The new fuse is
rated at 1.1 amp.

I expect to do the install tomorrow and will report back then.
