Hi Olli, Yes, 389.95 is the correct price. This is not a single board. It is a three board set that costs much more than our old KIO3B to manufacture. The board set also now contains a new USB Codec, USB Comm port, Internal USB hub and additional logic to handle routing of data between the

Also note that the KIO3B has all of the original KIO3 analog and digital functionality and HW. Adding the usb sound and USB data hw to that did not increase the end price by over $200. Lastly at ham radio market volumes, which are much lower than most consumer products, the cost to develop and

Hi Bill (and everyone else interested in the KIO3B upgrade), Unfortunately pulling the KIO3B boards out of a packaged K3S kit or already built K3S is not practical, and would really cause production problems here. We build the assembled K3S base units ahead of time before option configuration,

If you need to block the TX lines from the amp to the K3 (or from the amp to the P3's computer connection if that is also in the system) making a custom cable or taking a M-F 9 pin adapter with the proper pins broken off can make it easy.) The key thing to remember with RS-232 is that while
