[Elecraft] [K3, k3S] Panadapter for the Sub Receiver

One of our field day operators announced that while he was making QSOs on active bands, he was going to use the sub receiver in his K3 to scan for 10M CW activity. It occurred to me that this kind of scanning would be a lot easier if you could attach a second P3 to the K3 sub receiver. It

Wondering about re-orienting the filters between my K3 & K3s. If I put the FM filter in my K3s, can it be safely configured to transmit properly on SSB on all bands? Or must I use a 2.8 MHz to do this? Thanks & 73, Gary KA1J __

Hi Clay, Because this is of general interest, I'm replying to the list. First, LiFePO4 batteries are pretty much ideal for ham applications because of their relatively flat discharge curve, and because their Ah vs weight ratio is a good compromise. For example, an LiFePO4 pack will be above
