Hi Toby,
I do not believe that there is many such requests for having I/F TX/RX
in segment from 30 to 50MHz. The reason is that dozen of standard RIGs
are after some mods able to go from 1 to 30MHz without problems and a
lot transvertor systems already made are counting with this.
Additionally a lot HF rigs are "optimized" for some band(-s) - 14MHz or
21MHz. There are sometimes better results then on the rest of bands.
And - as I believe is the case o K3 also - the modification for TX/RX in
entire limits is more cheaper and technically easier.
But maybe I am wrong!
So want to know how this "problem" can be handled by K3 ans I know
several other guys running serious VHF/UHF/SHF gears with a lot of
interest in K3 performance.
So staying tuned for some K3 user comment or is anywhere
OperationalManual to study - not found on Elecraft Web ? (and not
disturb whole rest of world :-))

Hallo,
Second question - maybe more general - is about TX possibilities outside
standard HAM Bands. For example if my 2m transvertor is built for 26MHz
(26MHz/144MHz instead of stadard 28/144).
I've also asked, a long time ago, about using "non-standard" IFs for
transverters with the K3; my suggestion being somewhere between 30 and 50MHz. I
never really got an answer and I wonder if the VFO in the K3 could handle low
VHF IFs.
For RX I do not think that 26MHz should be a problem but for TX it very well may
be, because AFAIK there are legal and moral issues with K3 transmit capability
in the CB (and so called Free Band) frequency range.
I feel that allowing low power IFs outside of the HF bands with the transverter
interface is a very good idea, e.g. an IF of 30 to 40 MHz would not conflict
with a 10m station at the same QTH and is wide enough for the entire 70cm band
in Europe.
