[Elecraft] Inventorying a K3/P3

[Rick NK7I]

Dave,

The menu settings would be a good place to start, confirmed by taking 
the cover off.  One receiver is covered by the other, so some 
disassembly is required for the visual of the filters.  Then tuner, 
which i/o board etc.

For the P3, the options are the SVGA board and the TX board.

Sorry for your loss,
Rick NK7I
