[Elecraft] Age of a K3S. Serial # 105XX

[john at kk9a.com]

I have an early K3S and I am unaware of these factory mods.  What are
they? How are owners notified?

John,
The order date of my K3S serial #10629 is January 28, 2016. So, I'm guessing
your 105xx order date would be, depending on early 5xx or late 5xx, December
2015 or January 2016.
Be aware John that the early K3Ss, lower than serial # approximately 10700
or 10800 (I don't remember the exact serial #) need some modifications to be
up to current K3S production.
The mods are the IMD mod for the K3LPA and KPA3A, the fan mod and the KPOD
mod so the KPOD can be powered from the front panel KPOD jack.
I just got my K3S back from Elecraft about two weeks ago after having these
mods installed.
I believe Elecraft will perform these mods for free except for shipping to
and from Elecraft.
If I'm incorrect on that I'm sure Don or someone on the reflector will chime
in.
