[Elecraft] K3 - DVR installation question

What is entailed in installing a DVR into the K3? Sadly, I have to Move the KPA-500 and a PalStar manual (large) tuner before I can even get to the K3, For me, this is a big job. So thought I'd ask before I blindly jump into this. Bill W2BLC ___

It’s fairly involved to add after the fact. Not difficult — but considerably more than “pull the cover, plug it in”. https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3S/Manuals%20Downloads/E740130%20KDVR3%20Option%20Installation%20Rev%20C.pdf Grant NQ5T K3 #2091 KX3 #8342 > On Apr 26, 2019, at 9:19 AM, Bill wrote:

Grant: thanks for the link to the install manual. WOW!  I don't see that in my future - too many places for errors. My K3 is not broken and I don't want to break it. Thanks again. Of course, I could always sent the K3 out and have all the updates made and the DVR installed. But, all I operate

In addition to contesting, I use it to call friends for a pre-setup sked. They often don't show-up on-time or can't make it. I quit after five minutes with no response. During FD several years ago, I took over the 40m station after a nearby lightning strike took out the primary K3. The back-up
