Folks,
I recently received the "BND end" message while trying to operate (MARS) around 7.5 MHz. +/- a bit. I have used the elecraft software to "open up" the allowed transmission range; I do seem to remember there were still some areas to avoid; is this one of them, and if so, could I get reminded of what all they are? Is there a more recent update to that software? I lost mine in a recent computer crash... Thanks and 73 de Dave, W5SV / NNN0SLA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
Hi Dave,
The K3's IF is at 8.3 MHz. There is a lockout in the spectrum around this frequency. I think it's from 7.5 to 9 MHz, but not positive. You can RX anywhere, but TX is disabled for the range near 8.3 MHz. If you contact [hidden email], I think Brian can get you a copy of the latest software. You will have to show a copy of your MARS credentials. The Membership Card is probably good enough for this. 73, matt W6NIA / NNN0UET == On Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:27:51 -0500, you wrote: > Folks, > >I recently received the "BND end" message while trying to operate (MARS) >around 7.5 MHz. +/- a bit. > >I have used the elecraft software to "open up" the allowed transmission >range; I do seem to remember there were still some areas to avoid; is >this one of them, and if so, could I get reminded of what all they are? > >Is there a more recent update to that software?

Thanks to all who replied it was most helpful and I am up and running
as desired, with power limitations as appropriate for the close proximity to the IF.
