If you've been inside the radio you will be fine. I too like Elecraft very
much. K3-P3-KPA1500

Hi Bill, yes, it’s one of the first 200 that people pre-ordered and waited
nearly a year for, then built themselves (I liked Elecraft, but must say I
thought the K2 a little long in the tooth, I was about to buy an FT-2000 - had
the money and everything, then Elecraft announced the K3 - well I can tell you,
it didn’t take more than 5 mins to get an order off). Never regretted it and
love the Elecraft company and service AND the community. Have a P3 (again
preorder) and lots of other products.
I have no problem inside the rig etc (it’s quite packed in there now), just
haven’t upgraded the firmware for a while. I think I’ll be fine - just waiting
for the weather to change - it’s a ‘wet day’ type thing.
Thanks for replying and the ‘good luck’.

Wow, #174, it sure is on the old side, hi. I have a fairly early one #2995
from 2009.
I already had F/W 5.66 so no need to upgrade for me. The instruction manual
advises to upgrade the firmware before installation.The installation is really
very easy although I have had mine apart several times for other upgrades over
the years and am comfyinside the radio.
I had already done the mod for the KXV3B so was familiar with that area of
disassembly but I think this KIO3B install was even easier.
Good luck with the install. Should only take a couple hours if you've done the
KXV3B and are familiar but if its your first adventurein modifying the K3 just
take your time and don't force anything.

Bill, I did the same but not fitted yet - would be interested to know your
thoughts on fitting. i.e. did you do a F/W upgrade first etc (mines a bit old).

I just bought that KIO3B card a few weeks ago. Nice to just have the USB
cable do the work of the serial connection and have the audioon its own codec.
Still available from the factory as far as I know.

Apparently this card is no longer available. Does anyone know what the
price was?
