Brian, I just added the KIO3B, KXV3B, and KBPF3A mods. As per W3FPR, Don's advise, I did the KXV3B first, then the KIO3B, then the KBPF3A. I don't have the KAT3A, but I do have a K3/100, with ATU, internal 2 mtr xvtr, and the 2nd receiver. Had to take off top cover, remove 2 mtr xvtr, 2nd rcvr, then the left side panel (makes getting to the KXV3B install a lot easier), and then one section of the bottom cover. None of any of the procedures are any trouble. Just be careful doing the KBPF3A stuff. I had a couple of SMT's go flying, but actually got them back. Pretty straight forward. Just be careful, and read the instructions two steps ahead. Everything worked just fine when it got put back together. I'm 80, left handed, have bilateral tremors, and still it's a breeze. Enjoy.

I also ordered the KXV3B, KAT3A and the KBPF3A. I am just now getting ready to install these. Does anybody have advice on the best order to install them? Or any cautions, lessons learned, etc.?
