[Elecraft] K3 Parts transfer between rigs

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Keith,

This type of transplant takes more preparation then meets the eye. For
example, the Sub RX also includes the addition of a KSYN3 board and an AUX
DSP board. Forgetting to install either of those two boards could create
some of errors you are seeing. Then there are other things to check and/or
change on the existing K3 boards. Similarly, the donor K3 might have to have
some things unchanged once this handful of parts has been removed.

If the Elmer didn't fire up the rigs after the swap then perhaps he was just
supplying skilled labor and he was relying on you to do all of the research.

73,
Mike K2MK
