[Elecraft] K3 mod for K-Pod level of difficulty

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Any K3S later than serial number 10787 (kit) or 10801 (factory assembled)
can power the K-Pod without further modification. The change was made on all
subsequent units. 

So I'd hazard the guess that yours is "ready to roll" without any further
issues.

Yes, the K-Pod Owner's manual advises owners of older K3s or K3 rigs that
Elecraft will do the mod for them. 

Optionally, you can simply power the K-Pod from the 12 VDC power connector
on the back panel of the K3. A suitable power cable is included with the
K-Pod.

Any one who can show pictures and advise me on the K3S mod would be a big
help.  I have had a stroke since building the K2 100, and every thing else
Elecraft has ever made.
And it took my dominant right side to boot.  So I am debating whether to
send it to Elecraft for the mod or if I am able to do it "left hand".
Its $99 plus shipping to have Elecraft do it.
     I just bought the K3S and Kpod at the same time.  I think they should
have done the mod before they shipped it, since they had the rig apart
already to install the many options I ordered.
Maybe a phone call and or email to buyers in the future sales  to let buyers
know there is a mod that is nice to have. Just in case you want the pros at
Elecraft to do it if you are not able.

Just put in my order for a K-pod.  Has anyone yet done the K3 mod that
allows DC power through the data cable?  How did it go?

Tnx,
