William, send an e-mail to "support at elecraft dot com" and they'll provide you with firmware to load using the K3 utility that opens up your K3 for MARS frequencies.
Not sure about CAP (Civil Air Patrol?). The FCC forbids the use of any equipment for communications in other services that isn't type-approved for that service other than those specifically approved by the FCC, such as MARS operations. My gosh, is that LARC the Lockheed Amateur Radio Club? I'm an "old" Lockheed Missiles and Space guy from the 60's, Hi!

It uses frequencies assigned by the NTIA and are near, but slightly below or above the ham bands. Can the K3 be modified to transmit on these frequencies? How?
