Tony, I have the LP-Pan with recommended Creative Labs E-MU 0202 and find this to be optimal, I mean no reason to make a mod of any type to K3. If someone told you that this must be done, I'd want to see why with my own eyes before doing this job.
IMO (in my opinion) you don't "work" with SMD on K3, they fly around like little fleas even if you use a pair of 15w irons to remove them. They are just that small. But you can get them off without any major damage, find them, and carefully replace them - *when necessary*. YMMV... de wb8yqj Previous message: [Elecraft] K3 Buffer Mod Next message: [Elecraft] K2/100 LOCKUP THOUGHTS? Should I expect any negative impacts if I used regular resistors in place of SM resistors for this mod?
