No, not physical dimensions, but RX specs. You show us what the 817 looks like here (in the big table...just scroll down a little to see the table and then to near the bottom for the 817):  http://www.elecraft.com/K2_perf.htm I know the KX3 isn't finalized but it must be pretty close...it's

Ft817 was past decade technology. I once used it but eventually replaced it with k2. Ft817 receives everything but difficult to select anything. There is also no built in atu and speech compressor in ft817. Ft817 was a popular qrp rig but it is now the time for its glorious retirement. 73

Johnny, Maybe, but the FT-817 doesn't need anything except maybe the CW filter; if all you're interested in is CW on 80-10 and don't ever intend to hook a transverter to it, the out of box K2 is fine. I have both, so I have the option of using them for different purposes; the 817 is my go

If you can see the board impressions in the coax, it's toast. Replace it. You didn't say what kind of coax it is, but 9913 is very easily crushed. According to Mosley, the maker of many military antennas, that's why the military doesn't use it on the ground or in the ground. They use RG213,

The point made by Mosley was that the 9913 *style* coax can be crushed easily due to the material used for insulation between the center conductor and the shield. RG213 *style* coax does not suffer from that deficiency. I suppose I could have looked up the MIL STD number of both the coaxes and

Hello Phil,   From your serial number, you definitely need a DSP upgrade.  However, you observation proves exactly the contrary.  Did you get your K3 from used market so that the previous owner has already replaced it?   Keep us advised, I am interested in knowing it. TNX 73, Johnny VR2XMC

The easiest way to tell is that the new board has a little daughter-board with low-pass filter components on it. If both boards have them, you are already updated. If neither, then they sent you an old board. If one does and the other doesn't, install the one that does! On 10/22/2011 6:16
