Replacing the Top Cover
Hold the top cover above the K3, route the speaker wire under the stiffener bar and plug it into P25 on the
KIO3 board at the left rear of the K3 as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Connecting Speaker Cable.
Position the top cover on the K3. Note that the tab on the back center goes under the rear lip of the K3 rear
panel. Secure the top cover with the nine 4-40 3/16” (4.8 mm) black flat head screws you removed earlier.
REPLACE ALL THE SCREWS!
The K3's chassis has excellent rigidity despite its light weight. The screws that hold the top
cover in place are an important part of the structural design. Be sure to replace all the
screws and verify they are tight whenever you replace the cover or other panels
Enabling the KAT3
Your KAT3 will not operate correctly until the following steps are completed!
Reconnect power and antenna (or dummy load) to your K3 and turn it on. Enable your KAT3 ATU using
the CONF IG commands as described in the Owner’s Manual.
This completes the installation of the KAT3 automatic antenna tuner in your K3.
