I assume the new beta firmware (or a later stable release) is required to use the KXV3B in a K3 (no S)?

The addition of the low-noise amplifier for 12-6 meters is the only change. The module is compatible with either the K3 or K3S. The manual will be posted when it's complete.

While reading the K3s FAQ's it says that the new KXV3B Interface board has the new PR6-10 low-noise amplifier (LNA) as part of the circuitry. Further reading  suggests that this board can replace the KXV3A board in the K3.  I have not been able to find the "manual" yet as I suspect it is still being edited. I was just wondering if there were any other changes that needed to be made to accommodate the swap as this sounds like an excellent upgrade for the  K3.Bill-W0BBI
