Current MARS radio is contingency support for the government especially emergency communications in a very bad day, such as massive power grid loss. Phone patch usage is minimal. Unfortunately the K3 is not highly recommended for MARS use as it does not have full power output from 2 to 30 Mhz. Low end radios from Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu with TCXOs and full coverage from 2 to 30 Mhz are all that is needed. Encrypted digital and ALE are currently used as well as SSB voice. MARS has greatly evolved in the last few years and it is not what it was 40 or 50 years ago.
