Hello Don and Carl,
I guess I was not very clear on this. I have a couple of K3s and all
have a KANT3. I know what that board is. This board is a bare (un
populated) board that was made by someone to be a replacement for the
stock KANT3 but it has some added switching and routing capabilities
apparently. It was a non Elecraft mod kit for the K3. I vaguely
remember saying that I was interested in the board after someone
mentioned the design on the Elecraft reflector. I ended up with a board
and the parts list. I have no idea how to implement same!
To be clear, this is not a KANT3 from Elecraft. It is a bare board and a
list of parts that includes three ICs (TPIC6C596PW) a 78LO5 5 volt
regulator plus a bunch of capacitors and resistors. There are two
antenna connections that go on the board along with the 20 pin connector
that you remove off the original KANT3 board from your radio.
I am trying to figure out what this is and if it is usable.

Dave,
If I am not mistaken, that board would be installed in a K3 that did
not have an ATU.
If you bought the K3 without the tuner and later installed the tuner,
that would be the reason you have it in your 'junk'.

I hope someone can steer me in the right direction. I was trolling
through my junk and found a new un populated PC board. I must have
bought it from someone on the Elecraft reflector, but I have no
memory of any of it! All I have is the PC board and a printed sheet
with a parts list. By board has "Copyright Arcom 2016 KANT3 REV
1.0" printed on it.
The board has positions for 3 ICs and two small relays. It looks like
it was made to route extra antenna connections etc. but I have no
information on what it does or how it is implemented into the K3. Can
anyone point me towards a description on this accessory? I could
find no mention of anything with a google search.
