John,
Wayne covered the technical aspects of transmitting on 630m, but there are legal aspects that all newbies with K3s and upgraded K3's should be aware. There is NO HAM BAND on 630m so your ham license is invalid for transmitting on those frequencies (FCC promises someday - don't hold your breath).
The only way to legally transmit is to obtain an experimental license from the FCC for use of 630m. I am not prepared to walk you thru that - just saying its a lot more involved than a ham license.
If really interested in getting on before amateur radio is approved, I suggest you get in touch with the ARRL Experimental Group: http://www.500kc.com/
ARRL has just submitted renewal of our license: WD2XSH. No additions or modifications to the license are being made. I am WD2XSH/45

My transceiver indicates "BND END" when attempting transmit. It may be that the firmware has not yet been modified as the band has not yet been approved by the powers that be.....thanks for info (if available) John, N6AX 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
