From the manual: Frequency Stability: +/- 1 ppm typical over 0-50 C. An extended temperature compenstation procedure can be applied for improved stability (refer to our KX3 web page). So for operation above 20 MHz, you need to do the extended temp compensation. I assume they don’t require a

Re: [Elecraft] MARS operation problem

Jack, Transmitting between 7.5 and 9 MHz is not permitted because we have to enforce a minimum frequency distance from the 8.2 MHz IF (and its associated IF rejection trap on the KANT3 or KAT3 module). An excluded first IF region is a fundamental limitation of a down-conversion design. The

Yes you are correct, just got off the phone with Elecraft ...it is due to the IF at approx 8.2Mhz. This is a big deal to me as a MARS/SHARES operator. Waiting to hear back from Elecraft to see if they can move the freq up a bit to xmit in this area. Otherwise, I will have to put my TS-480 back on
