[Elecraft] KIO3B Install

[Robert Nobis]

I received the KIO3B upgrade kit for my K3 yesterday. Installation and setup was straightforward.

This was nearly a “plug-and-play” setup. I was up and running WSJT-X (v1.6) on OS-X (Mac) after minor adjustments to the audio levels, and had my first JT65 QSO within 35 minutes of starting the installation.

Decode performance appears to be just as good, if not better than my external TASCAM US-366.  I will have to run this for a few days to see how well it decodes low level signals (-23 to -25dB) on JT65.

Also the sure helped to reduce my rat’s nest of cables.

Happy New Year.
