Re: [Elecraft] K3 s/n 2274 update to new synthesizer board
Hi Don I was thinking of you when making this inquiry. Thank you! I’m also changing K3 to other changes: usb io, plus adding the 2 meter and GPS boards aimed at the digital mode use. Awaiting last K3 update production boards to arrive in June. Again thanks for tip on synthesizer board washers when removing the old board. 73, John Lawrence W1QS Sent from the all new Aol app for iOS On Monday, May 10, 2021, 11:29 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: John, Yes, there are lockwashers behind the board - when removing the old synth, do not initially remove the screws completely - loosen them until they are almost out, then tilt the board toward the rear and push the lockwashers up against the old synth board. Now you can fully remove the screws without dropping the lockwashers (they will stay on the screws if you are careful) 73, Don W3FPR On 5/10/2021 10:54 AM, JOHN LAWRENCE via Elecraft wrote: > Hi > any hands on experiences detail that might be useful if I do it myself when > the kit arrives.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 s/n 2274 update to new synthesizer board
When I upgraded my synths, the big problem was getting the TMP connectors correctly replugged. The manual said where to run them, but getting them reliably plugged in was my problem. You need to get the center conductor to slip smoothly into the socket. Then the rest of the connector will go in easily. 73 Bill AE6JV On 5/10/21 at 10:54 AM, elecraft@mailman.qth.net (JOHN LAWRENCE via Elecraft) wrote: Hi any hands on experiences detail that might be useful if I do it myself when the kit arrives.
