[Elecraft] K3S vs K3 - upgradability

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

You will need the general coverage board (KBPF3) and the parts kit.
But I believe the new General coverage boards (KBPF3A) have the necessary parts on them.
So it will be a matter of the New General coverage board (KBPF3) and Cap to be added to the Main board and the sub receiver).


I had not had the time to source the parts, then Elecraft said they will have a parts kit in the near future so I figure I'll just wait and get it from them.

I got the impression that new KBPF3As will have the necessary parts of 
the mod, but as I recall when the mods were described a few weeks back 
that there were changes that would also need to be made to the RF board 
& KRX3.  Hopefully in the next few days there will be some clarification 
on exactly what a K3 (no S) owner with no KBPF3s and the old synth(s) 
needs to actually buy/mod to get on the bands below 500kHz...
