[Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Well, This is getting off topic for this reflector, but information is that there have been experimental (amateur radio) stations on the (new) bands for some time, with higher power limits than have currently been authorized for general amateur radio use going forward. There have been no

Re: [Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Re: [Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

My reaction to "phone" exactly, since a typical "AM Phone" signal will occupy 6 of the 7 kHz! Back in the days when shipping used these frequencies, only Morse was allowed for routine communications although modulation was applied to produce MCW for emergencies. That was a carryover from the

Re: [Elecraft] K-3 with 4O3A antenna genius

Hi Art, If you're using a separate band decoder like K9YC, no problem, just use the 12V outputs of the band decoder to drive the Antenna Genius. But I assume you want to use the band decoder built in to the Antenna Genius, not a separate box, which means you're setting the dip switches on the

[Elecraft] 8.215 Trap

Elecraft just repaired and updated my early model K3. One of the things they did was bypass the 8.215 trap. Tried to look at the schematic and Google the information, but to no avail. I know there is an IF at that frequency, but do not understand why they would bypass the trap. Could some one

Re: [Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Bill, I could not believe it when you stated all modes allowed, so I checked the CFR47, 90.307 https://ecfr.io/Title-47/se47.5.97_1305 630m allows RTTY, data (see 97.307 (3) 630m phone and image (see 97.307 (1)(2) But seriously no 3-KHz phone should be used since one QSO would occupy

Re: [Elecraft] T1 as remote tuner for KX2/KX3?

Steve, This should work. A couple of notes: 1. Yes, you could use one of the general-purpose I/O signals from the KXIO2 module to activate a T1 ATU. The associated menu entry could be assigned to one of the four programmable function buttons. There’s no way to do full T1 control from the KX2,

[Elecraft] 630 MHz transmit and receive using the K3S or a modified K3

Here’s some info to get you started on 630 meters with the K3S or K3. For receive purposes, either transceiver is fully self-contained. For transmit, you’ll need an external amp of some kind. RECEIVE The K3S, or a modified K3, will receive on this band via the XVTR IN jack (or RX ANT IN).

Not broken  just a line break that breaks the "linkification".  Copy/paste of the entire link gets the document open. App/notice submitted...  Thanks.  Can't imagine that I'll be up on those bands anytime soon, but it will be nice to know if I CAN go up from my QTH. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Yes, +20 dBm would do it if the antenna and transmission line efficiency were a perfect 100%. A no-loss transmission line and a full size dipole or vertical. With the small antennas (with respect for wavelength) that are typical for that band, very low antenna and transmission line

Interesting in reading the FCC notice, ALL modes are allowed!!!  So some enterprising company should make a transverter for us???  It is only allowing 5W EIRP, a signal generator and do +20 dBm, Hummm. Mel, K6KBE From: Bill Frantz To:

[Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Since the availability of the 630 meter band was mentioned, I wanted to pass along the link for amateurs to inform the UTC of intent to operate on the new 2200 meter and 630 meter bands. Recommendation is that EVERYONE submits this form ASAP, even if you don't immediately intend to operate on

[Elecraft] T1 as remote tuner for KX2/KX3?

I am developing plans a hut-to-hut skit tour in Canada for next winter. On this trip, I will want to operate my KX2 inside of metal-roofed A-frame huts with a 60' feedline (RG-174, RG-58, or 300Ω twinlead?) to some kind of wire antenna outside. I plan to operate SSB on 40 & 20 meters at a minimum,

[Elecraft] 630 meter band open for use

Since we finally have the 630 meter band open for amateur use, (after you file intent of operation with the UTC and wait 30 days), is there any plan to put this band on the K3/K3S band plan? Would sure be nice to be able to get to 630 with out going through the settings to enable/disable etc. Or
