FB Howard: Note I did *not* say the K3 doesn't comply with the 63 dB figure, only that the published specs don't confirm that. Drop an e-mail to [email protected]. It's monitored by the design engineers and support staff who can give you a definitive answer.
If the K3 doesn't meet the specifications they'll want to know because a lot of MARS members are using K3s judging from the requests they get for the software patch that allows transmitting outside of the normal Ham bands. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hello Ron, I forwarded the apparent discrepancy to the authors of the CAP / AF MARS web site. I received an amazingly fast and friendly response which basically says that section 5.2.2.2 in the Redbook are "General Standards" which only apply when no other standard applies. The CAP/MARS standard is specified in section 5.3.1.1.A and specifies to use PEP transmitting wattage in the equation - thus the 63db for a 100 watt transmitter. ______________________________________________________________ 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
