As a result of all of you helping me better understand the K3 here is what I have come up with as a buy list for a K3 purchase.
I wonder if anyone would not mind looking it over, with an eye towards suggestions to me if you see something I missed. Also a few questions first: 1. Do I need something for the KXV3A Upgrade, or is the original item included with the K3? 2. Is there really much of a difference between the stock 2.7 filters, and the 2.8, 8 pole filters for SSB? I will never be on an island doing a DXpedition. Could I save a few bucks and not get the 8 poles for both RX's? Buy Info follows: Basic Rig: K3/100-F K3 K3 Xcvr KAT3-F K3 ATU KRX3-F Second RX KBPF3 Gen Coverage Module KTCX03-1 K3 TXCO (Is this really needed?) KDVR3 Digital voice recorder KUSB USB Cable for connection to Linux box Panadaptor: P3-F KXV3A (See question above) Filters: MAIN RX Only AM: KFL3A-6K AM Filter, only in Main RX All filters below are in Both Main RX and Sub RX SSB: KFL3A-2.8 2.8, 8 Pole Replacement filter, RX, plus Sub RX KFL3A-2.1 2.1, 8 Pole CW: KFL3A-1K 1 K, 8 Pole KFL3A-400 400 Hz, 8 Pole I may replace the 1K filters with 700 Hz filters, I am still mulling this over, any thoughts would be appreciated. -- Support better RFI practices, please sign this petition: at Whitehouse.gov http://wh.gov/lpz5Y ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
