[Elecraft] K3: Old KSYN3 and KXV3A Boards

[Scott Manthe]

Hi Tom,
I'm taking these off Bob's hands, mostly for the KXV3A. I'll eventually 
get the new version, but I've been meaning to update my old pre-"B" 
module for years, and I've already got the preamp. I plan to upgrade my 
K3 as much as possible, since I got it cheap used and can justify what 
it'll cost me to upgrade it vs. buying a similarly configured K3S at 
$4500, but I'm going to take my time doing it, and I'd rather have the 
new KIO3B I/O board than the KXV3B right now. (I'd need to put $2K into 
my K3 to reach the K3S replacement cost, so I've can certainly do some 
upgrading.)

I haven't figured out what to do with the KSYN3. If I think of 
something, I'll let you know. If you think of something, let me know :)

73,
Scott, N9AA

If you had a failure now and needed to replace it, you would surely just replace it with the new one. Or at least save your pennies. But how many times in the history of the K3 could this board have failed—short of storm damage.
