[Elecraft] KSYN3A - installation question

[Jim's Desktop]

  I looked it over and the only reason you would have to remove the KRX3 
is if you had it installed but were only buying one KSYN3A.  You must 
have the same synthesizer installed for both receivers.  If you just 
change out the main receiver's synthesizer, you then must remove both 
the old 2nd RX synthesizer AND the receiver or you will confuse the K3's 
MPU and it won't work.  That was the gist of the previous thread.
