Good news - We are now moving along smoothly on the majority of our K3 Option purchasing, assembly and testing. Here is the latest status as of 9/15/23.
KPA3A 100W PA: These should begin shipping in the next 2-3 weeks.
We have completed building and testing the main KPA3A PA modules and are now kitting the mounting hardware and packaging everything for shipping. We are also now contacting those of you with KPA3A deposit orders to confirm your order and your K3/K3S serial number. (The S/N is important to make sure the installation hardware and PA interface I/O board match your radio revision.)
KXV3B Xverter interface: Out for PCB assembly followed by factory testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.
P3TXMON: Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.
KAT3A ATU: Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.
KDVR3A: Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.
P3SVGA: Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.
K3EXREF: Purchasing final parts and PCB fabs, then out to PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We hope to begin shipping in the next 6-8 weeks.
KBPF3A: Purchasing final parts and PCB fabs, then out to PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We hope to begin shipping in the next 6-8 weeks.

K3/0 and P3. These will be the last two K3 Options we build, as they are more complex and are taking more time to source key parts, sheet metal, displays etc. We will update the shipping status on these after we begin shipping the other K3 options listed above.
I'll post updates as we get closer to shipping these options. (And if some begin shipping earlier than the above schedule. :-)
73,

Hi!
Here using a K3, mainly for purpose of VHF/UHF/SHF IF.
Occasionally I use it on HF and recently my KPA3 is making me headaches. I replaced some capacitors (C4/C8) as they where launched to the moon or even betond. The KPA3 worked after that fix, but two monyhs later is suddenly dropped dead…
Is there a way to upgrade this PA? Or can I send it in for repair?
i removed, so now running QRP on HF, but that is not my fun ;)
73 and Happy Holidays!
