[Elecraft] P3 +12V mod for K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

I did one for a friend a couple weeks ago - yes, I found the same thing, 
but decided to leave the cable in place and work around it (no bent 
pins) - it did work, but it was "touch and go" for a while.

Yes, the manual should mention it - and I agree, the easiest way to 
remove that cable from the SubRX is to get the I/O board out of the way, 
although it is possible to remove the cable with the KIO3 in place - but 
plugging the cable back in with the KIO3 in place is a bit of a 
challenge (but not impossible if you hold the connector with pliers 
carefully).

73,
Don W3FPR
