[Elecraft] Updating an older K3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Gary,

Some of the hardware mods correct problems or prevent problems and they
aren't noticeable after installation. But they provide peace of mind and
increase resale value.

One mod that I found useful was the one that corrected noise while tuning
the VFO. It improved operation on 6 and 10 meters on my K3. 

An upgrade (not really a mod) was the exchange of the DSP board. This made
my K3 sound quieter to me. I think you have to hunt around the Elecraft
website to find this one.

I did the mods myself so I can't comment on the factory cost.

73,
Mike K2MK
