[Elecraft] Upgrading K3 --- order of installation

[Richard S. Leary]

Brian,
I just added the KIO3B, KXV3B, and KBPF3A mods. As per W3FPR, Don's advise,
I did the KXV3B first, then the KIO3B, then the KBPF3A. I don't have the
KAT3A, but I do have a K3/100, with ATU, internal 2 mtr xvtr, and the 2nd
receiver.
Had to take off top cover, remove 2 mtr xvtr, 2nd rcvr, then the left side
panel (makes getting to the KXV3B install a lot easier), and then one
section of the bottom cover. None of any of the procedures are any trouble.
Just be careful doing the KBPF3A stuff. I had a couple of SMT's go flying,
but actually got them back. Pretty straight forward. Just be careful, and
read the instructions two steps ahead. Everything worked just fine when it
got put back together. I'm 80, left handed, have bilateral tremors, and
still it's a breeze. Enjoy.

73,
Rick, W7LKG

When the K3S first came out, I ordered the new synthesizer boards for my K3,
and they installed easily and worked great. 

 I also ordered the KXV3B, KAT3A and the KBPF3A.  I am just now getting
ready to install these.  Does anybody have advice on the best order to
install them?  Or any cautions, lessons learned, etc.?

Tnx.  73 de Brian W3BW
