Re: [Elecraft] K3 with MARS-ALE
Read your post on the forum. I am in the same situation with my K3s trying to use it with MARS-ALE. Did you ever find a solution?

[Elecraft] K3 with MARS-ALE
Greetings! I’m hoping someone has configured their K3 to use PC-ALE or MARS-ALE and can share their knowledge. I have my K3 linked to my PC in 2 ways — via sound card (Signalink USB) and via RS-232. It works fine with FLDIGI and with M110A. Using the Kenwood radio settings I’ve progressed to the point of having it scan the frequencies in the appropriate QRG file. However, it behaves strangely — switching to SPLIT on some frequencies, for instance. If you’ve set this up successfully, I’d love to learn the particulars of how you did it! 73! mjh Michael James Hauan, ACØG - a...@hauan.org a...@winlink.org 573-823-7114 (c) __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 with MARS-ALE
Michael, I cannot help other than to confirm that I had the same issues with my K3 using MARS-ALE. I quit trying at that point and I didn't like all the rapid relay switching with the band switching. What little information I *did* find was from the MARS-ALE Yahoo Group. Good luck. 73, Joel - W4JBB On 6/12/14, 11:19 AM, Michael James Hauan wrote: Greetings!

[Elecraft] [K3] KAT3 MARS Operation
Hi All, I see that this was asked once before on the reflector but got no replies. How well does the KAT3 work outside of the ham bands? Are the settings still stored for out-of-band frequencies like those which are used for MARS operation? My other choices are the LDG AT 200 Pro and one of the MFJ units.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MARS
As a Mars member, I can't disclose the frequencies but you can get that through your state MARS director. You can google your state and MARS and go to the web page to get contact information. Tell your MARS director before you fill out the application that your K3 can be modified for MARS and that you can't modify the radio until you get your MARS call sign and credentials to send to Elecraft. In the mean time, you can be studying the MARS manual. I am sure your MARS director will have a better understanding of whats going on and he will instruct what to put in the application regarding if your radio is opened for MARS. See you on the bands. Michael Fox (K5MEF) wrote: Is anyone using the K3 for MARS work? If so, can you contact me off-list to provide more info? I'm interested in getting involved with MARS.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MARS
The frequencies are not all that secret. Here are quite a few they announced for Armed Forces Day this year: http://www.netcom.army.mil/MARS/docs/ARMEDFORCESDAYFinal.pdf I'll bet a little internet searching will yield more.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and MARS
Michael, MARS requires us to not disclose the frequencies we use or their designators, but I do use my K3 on MARS frequencies quite successfully. There is one modification required, and some self imposed limitations. The modification is accomplished by running a program Elecraft can provide; it is easily revered should you choose to by using the same program. The frequency allocations differ a bit bit associated service (Army MARS, Navy Marine Corps MARS, Air Force Mars), but each one will tell you theirs on admission. So, don't worry, your K3 will work very will on the MARS frequencies and digital modes they use (with the right sound card software, etc.). Good luck! 73 de Dave, W5SV / NNN0SLA Michael Fox (K5MEF) wrote: Is anyone using the K3 for MARS work? If so, can you contact me off-list to provide more info?
