I received the mod kit for the gold plated pin replacements but I can't find
an instruction sheet on the Elecraft site. I really wanted to view the mod
before diving into it. Can someone point me to a link. The number on the
parts envelope is KPA3CONMDKT.

We are working on instructions to go with the kit. Here are some for now
to get you going.

The female connectors are already gold plated. But they get damaged and
should be replaced anytime the male connectors are damaged. Or replace
the KPAIO3 board.
The male connector pins can be
Hi all,
Is the measurement point for the indicated voltage in the DISP menu *after*
this potentially bad connector or do I still have to worry about this even
if the indicated voltage under full load is good? Mine is excellent, I have
only 0.4V drop from receive to full 17A worst case at 100W
Knut,
Voltage is sensed on the main board, the power to the PA (via the
troublesome connectors) is tapped off the main board. High resistance on
these connectors do not affect the displayed voltage.

Sorry, My mistake. I went back to the schematics, and it looks like the 12V
level is sensed from the PA board, which would be after the suspect
connectors. Unfortunately, there is often no symptom until they
corrode/overheat enough to cause problems.
I apologize for my earlier misinformation. I
