Re: [Elecraft] 2 meter EME considerations with the K3

I don’t believe the external transverter’s frequency stability is any better if the K3 has the TCXO option. I owned an XV144 without the optional TCXO option which I attempted to use with meteor scatter, and was very frustrated by its constant frequency drift. After I installed the TCXO in t

Ed Thanks for your feedback on end to end signal EIRP rules of thumb between JT65 and CW. The frequency stability and other JT65 mode considerations are where I need the trade offs and it's nice to see it can be done with under 10 watts of drive to an amplifier in Class C. That makes it
