You will need to send a copy of your MARS credentials via scan or email. The region (spectrum) from 7.5 to 9.0 MHz is hard-locked out for TX though, being too near the IF to be usable or safe for the K3.
Gary will send you a utility program that unlocks TX up to 25 MHz. There is a second utility that allows TX around CB, with a guard band. You should ask for both of these. For Navy-Marine Corps MARS, there are a large number of "shore ops" and phone patch freqs around CB. There are plans to use these higher freqs during the solar max for data exchange, especially radio-only W2LK, and that's inter-service as I understand it. 73, matt W6NIA / NNN0UET, SCA On Wed, 29 May 2013 18:20:56 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: >It certainly can.
