My K2 will tune to 8125 and I can hear the IF signal of the K3. It is weak, but audible. I have the IF mod installed in my K3

Even if it did, the bandpass filters would probably attenuate the signal significantly. For the same reasons I doubt that you can tune downward from 30 meters and get that low. You will have to use a general coverage receiver. 73, Don W3FPR sr...@swbell.net wrote: > I am trying to verify the output at the IF OUT jack on the back of > the K3.
