Being a 6m operator I have a few specific questions:
1. Are the 6m TX and RX circuits diiferent from the HF
ones?
No.
2. What is the noise figure on 6?
MDS is likely to be around -140 dBm in a 500-Hz bandwidth. Given
roofing filters to 200 Hz, you may be able to hear signals below this
point.
3. On a K3 with the ATU, does the ATU tunes on 6 or is
it bypassed?
It will have limited range on 6 meters. You could bypass the ATU on
this band if you prefer.
4. Is the antenna out different on 6 and HF, the same
or configurable?
Same. If you have the ATU, there are two antenna jacks, switchable from
the front panel.
5. Does the K3 receive on 48 MHz (videos for Es)
without the general coverage option?
Yes; there may be a menu entry to turn this on.
6. Not 6m specific: is it possible to order a K3 with
the 8 pole filter instead of the 5 pole filter. If
yes, what would be the price?
You'll need to discuss this with Lisa; the order form will eventually
deal with several such questions we've had about filters.
7. Not 6m specific: how come the K3/10 + KPA3 is $1.00
cheaper than the K3/100?
Artifact of pricing mathematics. If it bothers a lot of people, we'll
change it one way or the other :)
