About 3 or 4 years ago I asked an Elecraft employee about adding their internal 2 meter addition to my K3 and he talked me out of it. He said I'd be better off with a 2 meter mobile rig or even a

I have and use the internal 2 meter transverter in the K3S, but didn't know they made any others. I use it occasionally for 2 meter FM, more for SSB, and also to drive external transverters for 23cm

Yes, I have the 144-146 MHz version. Works fine, but could do with more output Watts. Adequate power output for driving an amplifier. 73, Alan. G4GNX

I wouldn't put anything made by MFJ inside my K3. 73, Chris NU1O

Has anyone used any for the k3 internal transverters ? especially the 220MHZ Mel NE9A

I did not know mfj made an internal tuner for the k3 Mel NE9A

Mainly did FMT to see what could be done with K3 with human operator reading waterfall screen.... it works & I'm happy about that (that is pretty good key in this hobby, if you ain't happy ah?

No preference on which one. Can be from K3 Classic, K3S or MFJ clone version. Contact me off list at my call sign on the ARRL email reflector --- @arrl.net -- Andy, KD3RF

If you contact them Elecraft they can provide a software patch to enable Tx outside the normal amateur bands. With the patch enabled, Tx on my K3 is still inhibited between 7.650 and 9.000 MHz. As

If you mean 7.6 to 7.7 Mhz then you need to apply the MARS modification which is a firmware obtained from Elecraft you will need to provide a reason, if MARS your MARS call sign. Also in that region

Hi Dave, If the RX antenna port is selected you should see a small "RX" text icon on the screen, but it isn't very obvious. This is a most common error, so don't feel bad about it! On the subject of

Was going to write the same thing but I knew somebody else would chime in. Yeah, CCP Virus is now the fault of those Italians. It's pasta that caused the virus and not bats served at wet bars. He

Hi, Come on! Where do you think those Europeans and the other parts of the US got the virus from? That the virus started in China and has since spread to all the rest of the world is accepted science

General coverage RX is a separate option that costs $, and it definitely doesn't let you Xmit out of band. 73, Chris NU1O

I have the program and used it successfully when I had a K3 (I have a K3S now) when I was in Army MARS. The one I have might not be the latest, so request it from Elecraft (and they’ll ask for a

Hi Mel, I meant software patch not mod. My impression was that the program open the K3 up to become a general coverage transceiver. This being said, the 7.600 to 7.700 Mhz

Be thankful it was that easy! 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Asst. Director, NW Division, Technical Resources

Milt Thanks for you reply. Are you sure there is a MARS mod for the K3. At one time when I asked about it, they said that the is a program to run that opens the unit up. I have that program and

Marc: RX ANT button it was! Nothing was showing on the screen on 40 but repeated button pushing resulted in a sudden improvement. I think the RX button must have been stuck on by accident (I don't
