[Elecraft] P3 +12V mod for K3

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Brian, 

I was able to do my K3 (which has just about everything in it) by simply
removing the back bottom cover, the rear fan plate and the ATU.  I left
everything else installed.  Since mine also has a K144XV, I simply let fan
plate carefully dangle while I pulled the old components out and inserted
new the replacements.  Although a vacuum desolder station was available to
me, I just used SolderWik.   

There are probably 6 different ways to do this, I'll pass your findings on
to our tech writer. 

Thanks and 73, 

Paul
