The firmware is the only mandatory thing from Elecraft, I think. I suspect that a tranverter can be modified by the users (preferably with test equipment to verify good performance).
And the matching case is gravy, and probably could also be done by the users. 73, doug From: "James C.

A fascinating possibility ! 73, Jamie WB4YDL -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3, full duplex satellite operation, XV-144/432 packaging Hi all, I'm been mulling this over (mostly while riding my bicycle). It looks to me as if the IF freguency for the XV144 or the XV432 can be changed pretty easily. If this is done, then full-duplex using the K3 would become a bit easier. If the firmware for the K3 would allow transverter operation on 28 through 32MHz and some other reasonable IF (22-24 MHz?(I have no idea what would really be right)), then we could use the K3 for full-duplex satellite operation. And if a repackaging job could be done to combine these two units in a single package, then a lot of external cabling might be disposed of, and it might be made to match the K3. 73, doug _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
