Re: [Elecraft] KANT3 Replacement PC board
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.

[Elecraft] KANT3 Antenna Input Module wanted
Hello everyone, I would like to purchase a KANT3 Antenna Input Module (Elecraft part number E850248). This is the board that connects the antenna input to the RF board. Perhaps you have upgraded to the KAT3 or KAT3A antenna tuner and have the old KANT3 board left over. Please let me know what you have and what you need to part with it. Thanks very much.

[Elecraft] KANT3
I would like to put a second SO239 antenna jack on my K3 (using a modified KANT3) .Without opening up the K3 and looking at the signals/levels can one of you digital wizards tell me what the sigs/levels are for SK3 and MISO3 . Looking at the KAT3 it looks like maybe the U4 is required to use the ANT logic ??? I am not a digital guy - just a old old analog RF Engineer so I don't know what SCK3 is doing or what the signal on MISO3 looks like. If MISO3 is just an on or off signal level that is changed by ANT I can handle the switching . Main reason for this is I would like to have a second antenna input I can switch to for a 6 meter antenna so it does not go through all the discontinuities in an amp and a remote antenna switch and a moose HF antenna coupler . Or maybe to switch between an omni HF vertical and a HF beam by tapping ANT. Yes I could buy an external 2 position ant switch - but it would be nice to be built in. How about a KANT3 (B) that has this function ?

[Elecraft] KANT3 ?
This is the board you would have replaced in your K3 when upgrading to the KAT3 antenna tuner. I'm looking for one to try something on, (not all or my ideas work so don't want to sacrifice the one in the rig) so if you've got one, let me know what it would take to ship it to 24551.

[Elecraft] KANT3 with two SO239?
Please can Elecraft clarify if there is any plan to upgrade the KANT3 board to provide switching between two SO239 antenna sockets? (In other words, the same switching as the KAT3 but without the auto-ATU.) Soon, sometime soon, sometime, maybe sometime, probably not, or never? The answer will affect my order confirmation, Real Soon Now. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] KANT3/KAT3 Something to consider
If you are buying a kit K3, and are considering adding a KAT3, you may want to wait and order the KAT3 after you receive the K3. If you order the kit without the KAT3 you will receive a KANT3 with it. If you order a KAT3 with the initial order, you won't get a KANT3. If you have a problem with the KAT3 and need to remove it, you don't have a KANT3 to fall back on. As far as I can tell, you don't save by getting the KAT3 with the initial order, as you do by replacing the stock 2.7khz filter with the 2.8khz filter.
