Re: [Elecraft] [K3] #174 band limits
Thanks, the difference was kindly pointed out to me in another post, so my fears were unfounded. On the transmitting out-of-band side of things - no problems, I have a brain that passed the full license, it knows were not to go!

David - The bands for Region 2 are wider than those for Region 1, so if you have got the USA Band Limit all you need to watch is transmitting outside the UK bands. I am assured by Eric, or was it Wayne, that the different channels for UK 5MHz permit holders will be unaffected. Opening the rig up, as you put it, would be unwise as it would enable you to operate high power CB. Now you wouldn't want to do that, would you? -- I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. -- Robert McCloskey, State Department spokesman (attributed) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Please note that the K3 -always- blocks high power TX in the CB band, regardless of what is programmed in for band TX limits. 73, Eric WA6HHQ David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Opening the rig up, as you put it, would be unwise as it would enable you to operate high power CB.

It would be really helpful to have user-configurable frequency points where the rig will emit a warning beep as the operator tunes through. Nothing else, just a discreet warning. For example, I can always use a reminder when crossing the edges of the beacon bands. Another use would be to program a beep at the frequency limits that might be written into the rules of a particular contest. Since other people might have different frequencies of interest, or might not want the facility at all, it would need to be user-configurable. Configuration could be as simple as: 1. Set menu item 2. Tune to a frequency 3. Press something to toggle beep on/off. Obviously not urgent, but maybe worth considering for the longer term. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] [K3] #174 band limits
Just looking over my K3, the front panel assy. says 'Band Limit: USA' Obviously I what to be able to use UK limits, so does anyone know how to open this rig up. Will this be something I'll be able to do in future? Personally, I'd prefer there to be no limits - I am after all, a full licensed amateur and supposed to be aware of the Licence conditions. -- Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. -Phillips Brooks, bishop and orator (1835-1893) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
