Hi Gary, Some of the hardware mods correct problems or prevent problems and they aren't noticeable after installation. But they provide peace of mind and increase resale value.
One mod that I found useful was the one that corrected noise while tuning the VFO. It improved operation on 6 and 10 meters on my K3. An upgrade (not really a mod) was the exchange of the DSP board. This made my K3 sound quieter to me. I think you have to hunt around the Elecraft website to find this one. I did the mods myself so I can't comment on the factory cost. 73, Mike K2MK Gary Smith-2 wrote > I assembled this K3 in Nov 08 and it has most of the accessories of > the day; sub RX, KAT3, KP3A, KXV3, KTCXO3-1 TCXO & KBPF3 Gen > coverage module. > > I'm thinking it might do well with an update with the factory mods to > bring it current.
