Re: [Elecraft] Slighty off topic - 80 meter second harmnic how to stop

I understand that small ferrites are easily overloaded and become non-linear generating harmonics and injecting a signal back into the wire from whence they came. You might have sleeve chokes on all sorts of wires, keying lines, keyboard cables, video cables, the wall clock, lighting, etc.

David, I don't have an answer for your question though well aware that bandpass filter affect on use of K3 IF for transverters. For Rx, if you have the KBPF3 installed, it will extend beyond 14.350 but unknown if that is true for Tx. I use 28-32 MHz as IF for my VHF/UHF transverters up

Thanks Don, On further internet searching I think I have answered my own question, but am happy to be corrected. I suspect that the K3 Transverter ports reflect the same frequency limits as programmed into the radio as the main antenna port. The K3 is apparently software transmit ham band

I am thinking about a K3 for transverting to 144-146MHz using my existing transverter which has a 14-16MHz I.F. It works well with the KX3, does the K3 similarly allow transmit and receive on the transverter ports beyond the ham band frequency limits? I don't want to be limited to 144.350
