>> Dave,
>> There have also been numerous component adds/mods over the years. Three that I did a couple years ago are 1. Increase the 12vdc accessory power from 500 ma to 1 A. Evidence is a 1A sticker on the rear of the K3. 2. Add a capacitor to the KPA3 to eliminate fan noise pickup evident after the new synthesizers are installed. 3. Addition of a capacitor to the KBPF3 general coverage BPFs to extend coverage down to the 630 meter band. I’m sure there are others. See the mod instructions available on the Elecraft site if you go sleuthing inside the box. These are a bit inconsequential but add value to the K3.
