Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence
Installing the KDVR3 is a nothing once the front panel is out and apart, tiny board, one plug, one screw. Unless something is so seriously wrong with your KDVR3 that is killing a voltage or a signal (really unlikely), just put it in and then only turn on one at a time in the menu system until you are satisfied with it. 73, Jim - Original Message - From: Dick Dievendorff To: 'G4MKP' ; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 1:44 PM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence Both option installations require that you remove and reinstall the front panel.

RE: [Elecraft] KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence
Dick's suggestion is excellent. You can stop and confirm your KDVR3 is working after you remount the K3 front panel and before you install the rest of the KRX3 (which goes inside the main K3 enclosure). Just don't enable the KRX3 in the MENU. The K3 will ignore the Aux DSP board you mounted in the front panel assembly until you do. Remember, you must install new firmware for the KDVR3! You must have at MCU ref 2.73 or later.

Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence
Yes, read the installation of the DVR and then while installing the KRX3 and you have the front end apart, put it in. The filter can be installed anytime (first) up until you do the "final" step of placing the KRX3 in position and screwing it down. Just did exactly what you ask. Use a flashlight, even a tiny one, for pin alignment and inspection. But don't do the front panel reinstallation late at night, I couldn't hit the pins right. It worked fine when installed it in the morning LOL. 73, de Jim KG0KP - Original Message - From: G4MKP To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 1:30 PM Subject: [Elecraft] KRX3 and KDVR - Installation Sequence My sub-receiver + filters and Voice recorder have been posted and are due any day.
