	Funding: Work supported by the U.S. DoE Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 and the NSF under Cooperative Agreement PHY-1102511, the State of Michigan and Michigan State University. The present RFQ of ReA3 reaccelerator at Michigan State University (MSU) has been commissioned in 2010. This 4-rod RFQ was designed to accelerate the prebunched 80.5 MHz beams with the lowest Q/A = 1/5. However, the lack of proper cooling limited the RFQ performance to the pulsed operation with the lowest Q/A = 1/4. The design voltage for Q/A = 1/5 has never been reached even in a pulsed mode due to the sparking. In 2016 we initiated the upgrade of ReA3 RFQ to support high duty cycle (up to CW) operation with Q/A = 1/5 beams. The upgrade included the new rods with trapezoidal modulation, and new stems with improved cooling. The redesigned 80.5 MHz RFQ will consume only 65% rf power of the present RFQ for Q/A = 1/5 beam. It will provide the transmission up to 78% for 16.1 MHz beams and 89% for 80.5 MHz beams. High reliability and efficiency of the RFQ are very important for the going-on reaccelerator upgrade to ReA6 and for future operation as a part of FRIB. The electrodes have been manufactured and are being installed. The RF and beam tests are scheduled to summer 2019.
