[Elecraft] SVGA Board For K3

[Mark Goldberg]

With the right tools and a highly skilled operator, that can be replaced.
I've seen FG456 BGAs replaced. Personally, I have neither the tools nor the
skills.

And, I don't mean the $500 BGA rework machines. I mean the ones that cost
many times what the board costs.
