Gregg,
If you are using a local (in shack) K3 to control the remote K3, then
the answer is no, that local K3 is now just a control head for the
remote K3.
With the K3/0, this will be a seperate box, and if you have a local and
a remote K3, then you will be able to use both at once, if you
Not at present. This may be possible, but I can't promise it.

Guys,
I hooked up my K3 to a DB6NT 70 MHz transverter, this works nicely.
Im worried though since I see one watt output on the trv when keying the
mike in SSB but not speaking into it.
This goes back to 0 when I turn MIC to 0. The output from the K3 to the
transverter is 0,5 mW CW

I hate when this happens - sort of.
After tearing the K3 down I pulled the sub receiver and double checked
everything. While at it I decided to move the filter locations in the sub to
match the main receiver. I didn't bother to do that last week. Main has 6khz
installed, sub does not - so the
You cannot move the filters around without setting them up with the
utility. Technically, you CAN do this with the menu, but this is so
protracted and klunky as to be a guaranteed mistake maker. It is possible
to do something totally wierd with the filters using the menu system.

I hope we can't do that. I feel you either receive/transit from the remote
site or receive/transmit from the local site. From a contester and Dxer
perspective I do not like the idea of mixing the two. There may be other
reasons to mix, and I may be being shortsighted on this.

One good reason would be that you could have full duplex receive/transmit,
if you have a secondary site a ways away. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to
hear the other station while you are transmitting? Another reason I can
think of is if you have a secondary location with much more space e.g. for

For contesting, most contest rules prohibit the use of remote receivers.
Usually the rules require that all equipment (except antennas) must lie
within a 500 meter diameter
Would it violate DXCC rules if you were transmitting from one country
and receiving in another? For example, it might be much easier to work
African stations from here on the west coast of the US if I could use a
receiver in southern Europe.

It would be interesting if I had a remote receive site in Asia so that I
could hear the last four zones I need on 160M. I do know I get out better

them, maybe I could work them?
