[Elecraft] KBPF3A and KBPF3B

[Dauer, Edward]

So, just to be sure I have this right:

If I have the NEW KSYN3A synth in an old K3, and if I still have the OLD
KXV3A, then replacing the KBPF3A with the NEW KBPF3B will give me all of
the enhanced performance available on 100 - 500 Khz?

I am thinking of replacing the KBPF3 rather than doing the mod on the old
one because I have never done surface mount work and in my dotage can¹t
trust myself not to make a mess of it; and because shipping the K3 back to
the factory for the mod may not be worthwhile compared to just replacing
the bandpass filter . . . . due to the down-time.

Izzat right, that replacing the bandpass filter now will do it all?

Thanks,

Ted, KN1CBR
