Andrew, I am very impatiently awaiting the details like you are on this subject. What I can share from what I have learned here on the list is that this has not in fact been detailed yet, that has been announced. The 2m module is still in development. That having been said, it has been alluded to that extended receive beyond the 2m band is probably not feasible. There is a sensitivity limitation with the receiver. Also, the "IF" for the 2m "transverter" is 6m so there will not be the 2MHz band limitation as would happen if 10m were used.
If the KX3 receiver is general coverage and goes beyond the 6m band I could see where some extended receive may be possible outside of the 2m band, seeing as 6m is the pseudo IF. What I would like to see is the 2m module allowing receive up through the weather band above 162MHz. When out backpacking it is a great aid to get the NOAA weather reports. I got stuck hiking in the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee in the Smoky Mountains last year and my HT was most often tuned to NOAA hihi. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-2M-extended-receive-tp7160468p7163080.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
