[Elecraft] KIOB3B for K3

[Mark Musick]

I just sent one of my K3Ss in for repair and asked about upgrades available for my K3. Rob, from tech support told me to send a message to sales for the upgrades I wanted and if they were not available I would be put on a list.
Madelyn replied back saying they did not currently have the K3SYNA or KIOB3 boards available, but would be put on the list.
I ordered a KVX3B board from the website she said they still have a few in stock. Also, the CBLP3Y cable is still available. If you have a P3 you will need that when you upgrade to the KIO3B.
I ordered both.
It appears the K3EXREF is still available. The KBPF3A says unavailable, but it let me put it in my cart. So, I'm not sure about that one. I've sent an e-mail to Madelyn to see what is up with that.
I'll post to the reflector once I have an answer.

73,
Mark, WB9CIF

Hi John - it *may* be a glitch in their new web site - if you enter KIO3B there is a listing for the main components of the update kit at < https://elecraft.com/pages/search-results?q=kio3b&narrow=%5B%5B%22Categories%22%2C%2210171482123%22%5D%5D&disable_semantics=1>,
but no whole update kit as such.  I have just written them asking for info on when mine might be available, and if I get anything definitive I'll post it here.  I ordered mine in mid-June.
