[K3] RE: [Elecraft] MARS Coverage?

All, Don't forget that you'll also need the KBPF3 option to receive outside the HAM bands. I've been using the K3 on MARS (including NCS duties) for ~5 months now. Running ~600W with an SB-200. All works great; can't say enough about the K3. '73 Bill AFA2OY -- View this message in context:

Also, A finer frequency resolution for AM mode (or if there's a way to do it, I haven't found it, and I've already tried adjusting the config settings for tuning). The choices for 'coarse' are currently: 10.0KHz, 9.0KHZ, and 5.0 KHz. Need to add 1.0 KHz capability for 'coarse' ... 5.0KHz is

[Elecraft] K3 ATU (KAT3) - Operating 'Out-of-Band'?

2008-04-24 Thread BillG
I am running a K3 on the MARS frequencies (working quite well, FYI). I would like to know if the K3 internal ATU (KAT3) will still tune correctly out-of-band (e.g., 'Amateur' bands). I know the tuner only has a certain range of operation regarding the load being tuned, such as 20:1, or

Eric, Great news your having the K3 wide-range TX mechanism implemented! Do you have any information about the TX frequencies (or ranges of frequencies) supported (or NOT supported, whichever is easier) when operating the transmitter out-of-band? Even a rough idea would be very helpful. For
