Hi Johnny, I have no doubt that it would physically fit in the K3 but I'd have to defer to the guy's at Elecraft on how to cable it. I guess that if you have the KXV3A installed but not the 2M module I dare say that you may be able to do it with TMP cables as is done with the 2M transverter. But, I have the 2M transverter installed and haven't had a good look around in the guts of my K3 (Mine's a factory built unit) so I couldn't say if there is a way to cable it internally.

This will possibly tidy up the cabling. In fact, in the thread of KPA500, I did ask the possibily of having a 6 m preamp built inside the KPA500. Without the PR6, K3 is relatively deaf in 50Mhz and I currently use my Icoms for 6 m operation. I have noticed some 6m band openings recently from VK to VR2. cheers, Johnny VR2XMC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 寄件人﹕ Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF <[email protected]> 收件人﹕ "James C.

Thats what I did here with no detectable signal degredation and a whole lot less room taken up behind the rig.

I have found that it eats up a lot of shelf space hanging in the back as it does. I thought it might work if I could flip it up, but I can't seem to find a BNC right angle M-M adapter. Does anyone know if these exist or have other ideas ? I guess I could make a couple small cables and slip it under the radio. 73, Jamie WB4YDL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
