You can also try borrowing an Icom Pro series (or presumably their larger radios as well), and hook the if out to the antenna input on the Pro, which will then act as a bandscope for the K3 when tuned to 8215 kHz.. I do this at P49Y (an idea from W0YK) and it works very well. 73, andy, ae6y ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Bloom" <a...@elecraft.com> To: <sr...@swbell.net> Cc: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] IF output
