I can just confirm that after 4 hours job on kitchen table without any
complication I have new KRX3 module inside, calibrated and with all
filters I ordered for it. Also DSP f/w loaded, simply finished.
There was no horror scenario, board fitted inside correctly, no need
to modify R91 etc.... Also having version without nylon standoff for
main DSP but suppose it is used as mechanical support only to avoid
touching boards or some long leads problems which is not my case.
There are basically three main "actions" as KSYN and SUB I/O boards
and AUX ant cable install, then Front panel DSP addition and KRX
module itself - you can plan and study all from manuals just before
and ask for anything unclear, really there is no trap or hidden beast
inside :-)
Dissasembly/assembly of DSP BD and Front panel was not done first time
here so maybe I am little bit more experienced but really no problem.
The more iportant challenge was to fasten AUX ANT Bnc and organize
coax cables around PLL...
Now connecting antenna and will test split on VK9WDX on 30m :-)
GL to all K3 builders,
thanks to Elecraft and

hi Dave - I could add a couple things to all that was said already...
I didn't read the reflector for all of the horror stories, but I
didn't install mine right away because of work - the same reason I
checked out of reading the reflector for a while. I finally did it a
couple weeks ago, and did find it to be rather involved - but at no
point did I feel like I was out of my depth. I don't consider myself
the most mechanically able guy by any means.
I will admit that when I saw that the front panel had to be removed, I
did groan a little. I remembered that the initial assembly and install
had been kinda gnarly. But the instructions were very clear and you
only have to remove the items that are strictly necessary. A lot less
trouble than I feared!
By the time I was done I realized that, in a way, by doing all of the
necessary disassembly and removal and re-installs, it was kind of like
getting to build another radio. Which was a real and unexpected treat!
Hope this helps! jeff wk6i
