[Elecraft] KIOB3B for K3

[Bill Stravinsky]

 David
Wow, #174, it sure is on the old side, hi.  I have a fairly early one #2995 from 2009.
I already had F/W 5.66 so no need to upgrade for me.  The instruction manual advises to upgrade the firmware before installation.The installation is really very easy although I have had mine apart several times for other upgrades over the years and am comfyinside the radio.
I had already done the mod for the KXV3B so was familiar with that area of disassembly but I think this KIO3B install was even easier.
Good luck with the install.  Should only take a couple hours if you've done the KXV3B and are familiar but if its your first adventurein modifying the K3 just take your time and don't force anything.

 Bill, I did the same but not fitted yet - would be interested to know your thoughts on fitting. i.e. did you do a F/W upgrade first etc (mines a bit old).

 I just bought that KIO3B card a few weeks ago.  Nice to just have the USB cable do the work of the serial connection and have the audioon its own codec.  Still available from the factory as far as I know.

 Apparently this card is no longer available. Does anyone know what the
price was?
