The frequencies are not all that secret. Here are quite a few they announced for Armed Forces Day this year: http://www.netcom.army.mil/MARS/docs/ARMEDFORCESDAYFinal.pdf I'll bet a little internet searching will yield more. They are close to the ham bands. 73, Bob K2TK -.-. --.-N3TU -.

All you have to do in order to get your radio opened up is send Elecraft your callsign and your serial and request the program to open up the radio. On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 7:06 PM, -.-. --.-N3TU -.-. --.- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As a Mars member, I can't disclose the frequencies but you

As a Mars member, I can't disclose the frequencies but you can get that through your state MARS director. You can google your state and MARS and go to the web page to get contact information. Tell your MARS director before you fill out the application that your K3 can be modified for MARS and tha

Is anyone using the K3 for MARS work? If so, can you contact me off-list to provide more info? I'm interested in getting involved with MARS. But the application simply asks if you're able to transmit/receive on MARS frequencies without specifying what those frequencies are. So, I'd like to know

Hi all, Very little to date has been said about the K3 and MARS. (I checked the archives) 1) When will this be implemented? 2) Will I need the KBPF3 module for MARS work or are the frequencies close enough to the ham bands? I have been quiet on the list about the K3 until now, but I am c
