Did you read in that article how a KXV3 module is used in the K3 to bypass the high pass filtering used to protect the T/R PIN diodes? The KX3 has the same filtering, but no possibility for a KXV3 module. Therefore, the KX3 is not really usable below around 1500kHz.
If you want to get onto the 600m band with a KX3, you'll need to look at building a transverter. 73, Matt VK2ACL ----------- Matt and Dom, I have actually listened below 500-KHz with my KX3 and though lowered sensitivity it still hears at these frequencies. I think it will only require a Rx preamp to restore sensitivity. I have not tried to transmit down there with the KX3, but it is my hope that is will work. I can make a transverter (in fact I have one that I made with a SBL-1 mixer using my station 10-MHz REF OCXO as LO. This enables running 10.472-10.510 MHz on the K3 in TEST mode. 73, Ed - KL7UW/WD2XSH-45 ______________________________________________________________ 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
