Yes. It works FB to update the K3 through the P3. It uses an LED lit display, so the life ought to be on the same order as the LEDs since it's the backlight that usually spells the end to such a display.
If you do manage to run a hammer or other object through the display ruin it, it is easily replaced. It is not soldered onto a pc board; it's a simple plug-in affair. Complete instructions to replace it are in the manual (at the back since it's not likely something a user will ever need to do). 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- . I think you can update the K3 with the P3 connected. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
