The easiest way is to use the K3 Frequency Memory Editor to enter favorite
stations into memory. The program is available for download from Elecraft.com.
It works for KX3 and KX2 also.

Curious as to how others access the short wave bands.
I can add and subtract the ham bands and how they display when I use the
Up/down buttons for the Band access. That works great.
Is there a software switch somewhere that will add the shortwave bands into
the list when I use the UP/down Band

I actually like that was the best (adding bands between the Ham bands)
I have a Flex-1500 and it pretty much works like that, and even has a

I suggest adding a band between each ham band. When switching
away from these bands, the frequencies/modes/etc. would be saved
in the band and the ones
Exercise:
FREQ ENT 15 you get VFO A 15.000 but VFO B stay on old freq e.g. 14.125.00
You can tune around 15.000 in general coverage and cycle power OFF / ON.
To return, push A/B to get 14.125.00 to your VFO A.
Then make A and B same pushing A to B switch.
Make this exercise 3 times and you
I am probably doing something wrong, but I cannot find any reference to
the following issue in the K3 manual.
It seems that if one tunes to a non-ham band (general coverage) frequency
(I used numerical direct frequency entry), the ham band closest to the
target frequency now assumes the targeted
Yes, they work that way.
That is why I use the memories to navigate through the ham bands.

Hi Dale,
When you're tuning around outside the hand bands, your last dwell
frequency will be set in the appropriate ham band For example,
listening to WWV on 15 MHz, 15.000 will become your VFO A's 20m
frequency. That VFO A frequency will persist across a power off / on
cycle. This behavior is
I suggest adding a band between each ham band. When switching
away from these bands, the frequencies/modes/etc. would be saved
in the band and the ones from the new band would be loaded as
happens now.
These bands would not be accessed with the band up/down switch
unless enabled using a new
how is the sensivity with KBPF3 for RX outside of HAM bands? Is KBPF3
(and KFL3A-6K) a good invest or is a better way to buy a special radio
for BCR RX (eg. like Perseus or PMSDR)?

My K3 has around 10 dB worse image rejection when operating outside the
ham bands with a KBPF3. Sensitivity is mostly OK except when using the
main (TX) antenna socket were the sensitivity drops off below 1 MHz and
is about 20 dB less sensitive on 500 KHz. If you use the KXV3
transverter
I thinking of adding the general coverage option to my K3. Any advantages as
to putting it the main or sub receiver?

You're confusing the band pass filtering (allow 20 meter band into
the radio) with roofing / IF filters (allow this narrow slice of
spectrum into the radio).

It's not, Joe. The KBPF3 provides additional receiver input bandpass
filters.

Can you be more specific? What function of the Drake or JRC could you
not replace without the general coverage receiver option ?

The Drake and JRC models I mentioned are not amateur transceivers; they are
highly-regarded shortwave receivers. Like many others, I became a ham only
after
developing a strong interest in shortwave and AM broadcast band DXing during
my teens.

Most of these AM transmissions in the UK are very poor quality to begin with.
Not just the content, but also the audio compression and filtering. The
better the quality of the radio you use, the more you notice this.

I don't see why this would be specific to the UK
Yes - but where the UK leads at least in the US they get the voice of
reason on AM for ironic entertainment. All we get is 5 live and a few local
radio stations.
In terms of audio quality, I think there has been a reduction in recent
years. It is AM so it does not matter sort of attitude.

Would it be possible to modify the General Coverage filters (and change the
firmware) to allow receiving lower than 500 kHz? With the roofing filters
used, a range down to 30kHz should be possible?
