Re: [Elecraft] 4-Meter (70 MHz) module possible for the KX3
A 4m module would be a very good reason for me to buy a KX3 - but it would be even better if it was available for the K3.

4 metres module for the KX3, yes please, that would be fantastic.

Wayne, This is very interesting (and great) news. I shall take this opportunity to express my interest in the 4m module, and have tipped off another local amateur I know who also would be very keen for such a beastie.

The only reason that hams in R-1 have it is that TV there went elsewhere with the advent of DTV. Not so in the US where every little burg wants its own TV translator or low-power station.

Wikipedia is way out of date. For up to date info on 4m see www.70MHZ.org Its currently QRV as WG2XPN/B on an all year round basis. Previously it had a different callsign every year and was only allowed to transmit may-spetember (Sp-E) season. It has already been heard by me in TX this year(off the back of its beam!). Its best DX so far is Italy. Yes a lot more Eu Countries have the band than 10 years ago.

Hi Nate, Thanks for posting this. I'm reading the thread, and will contact Glen (K9STH), the experimental licensee who filed the 70-MHz petition with the FCC.
