Replace the KXAT3 board as shown in Figure 17 or, if your KX3 is not equipped with the KXAT3

Antenna Tuner option, install the adapter board furnished in its place. Do not disturb the location of the
antenna coax you just positioned.

 There are two multi-pin connectors on the KXAT3 or on the adapter board. Be sure they are

properly mated with the corresponding connector(s) on the RF board below as shown in the figure.

 Reconnect the HF antenna cable. The two pins are tied together electrically so the connector may

be inserted with the pins oriented either way.

 Secure the KXAT3 or adapter board using the two M-F standoffs and lock-washers. Place the lock

washers under the standoffs as shown in Figure 18.

CAUTION

Tighten the M-F standoffs only enough to compress the lock washers. The standoffs

are aluminum and you can easily twist the threaded shaft off of the rest of the

standoff.
