[Elecraft] 2m module for the KX3?

2014-02-27 Thread Sean Wall
Hi folks,

Is there any word on when the 2m module for the KX3 will be available?
 There are several 2m repeaters in my area (around Tampa FL) and it would
be nice to access them.  I know the Elecraft website says "coming soon",
but I was wondering what that means!

Also, I was told that it would take 7-10 days for my call sign to show up
in the FCC ULS database.  It will be 10 days tomorrow.  Is it normal for it
take the full 10 days?

-Sean

Sean,

The time for the calls sign to show up in the FCC ULS database depends mostly 
on the speed of the VE/VEC giving the test and processing the paper work.  A 
friend of mine had his call in the ULS database about 3 days after his test.   
I think that is the fastest I ever heard of.  The slowest could be almost 
anything.

I too am waiting for the KX3 2-meter option but haven't heard anything lately.  
Now that the 100-watt amp for the KX3 is moving out the door at a regular pace, 
I think the focus is on the 2-meter option.  I am guessing late summer.  If you 
want to get on the repeaters, go out and buy yourself a cheap 2-meter FM rig -- 
probably can find one for under $100 easily.
