Interesting, I just ordered a KX3 and PX3 yesterday! I didn't realize that there were provisions to plug a keyboard into a PX3, or is this a future thing? I visited the QRPworks website and their products were one of the reasons why I chose the KX3/PX3 over an Anan-10. If Elecraft is planning

Bruce, The internal 2 meter option has no direct relationship with the use of external transverters - other than the settings in the XVn --- menu items in the K3. If you are talking about the Elecraft XV432, the IF is 28 MHz. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/29/2015 11:50 AM, Bruce Osterberg wrote: Good
