What makes K3 is 90% receiver and 10% transmitter (IMHO). Last time I checked, broadcast stations do not need to receive. What you need is crops duster, K3 is supersonic jet. Kind of out of proportion, so no, this is not a reasonable idea.

I have a friend in Mali that wants to set up an AM radio some were out in the boonies. No Reliable AC power etc etc third world problems import duty tax endless very red tape. So the question is.... Can the K3 be made to transmit in the 1600 kc freq? 25 to 50 watts. Is this even a reasonable idea?
