6 meters

I am moving to HS0...they do not allow K3 import because it has 6 meters (not allowed in thailand). Is there a way to eliminate 6 meters from my K3 so I can try to get it type accepted? They do allow the K2.

If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're headed!!

Re: 6 meters

The licensing looks pretty strict and stuck in the past. The list of
approved transceivers is very dated...

Perhaps Elecraft can provide a firmware "fix" to limit the K3 to the
band segments shown in:

It also looks like you cannot have general coverage receive either!

Re: 6 meters

It's not "stuck in the past" if operating on 6m would cause interference
to other licensed services. Thailand certainly isn't the only country
that doesn't permit 6m operation.

A list of approved transceivers would appear dated if the majority of
newer transceivers include 6m coverage.

Their country...their rules.

Have you emailed or called Elecraft directly to see if they already have
a set up version that fits Thailand? Seems like a question for the
factory not the list.

Their factory configuration set up program might be able to turn off 6m.

Re: 6 meters

Depending on how thorough the screening is, it might also suffice to
disable 6m in the config menu.
