Broadcast Band
Locked

Since I will be using my K3 while RVing, my wife raised a question.
Just what is needed to receive the commercial AM broadcast bands? We have to be able to listen to the Cardinal games this summer. Thanks Al AD9p |

Hello Al,
Mine works well on the BC band ... Remember, a KBPF3 general coverage filter is needed for out-of-hamband coverage. 73!

You need the general coverage bandpass filters and the 6kc filter wouldn't
hurt either. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of AD9P Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 11:15 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] Broadcast Band Since I will be using my K3 while RVing, my wife raised a question.

You can actually receive G/B with just the 2.7kHz filter, but the 6kHz
(KFL3A-6K) helps, it's also required IF you want to transmit AM.

There is nothing better than listening to far away AM stations with a first rate radio hooked up to a Ham antenna...show your wife a comparison to the reception through K3/RV antenna and then with a regular AM radio with its puny built in antenna. If she's an avid baseball fan, you may never have to convince her that you "need" a new radio ever again...Hi.
Good luck RVing and to the Cards (Until they meet up with the Yankees in October, of course). 73 Tom -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: AD9P <[hidden email]> > > > Since I will be using my K3 while RVing, my wife raised a question. > Just what is needed to receive the commercial AM broadcast bands?

Thanks for the info. I have the 6khz filter on order, but was not sure if that was the total answer.
We have a XM radio, but the play by play is not done by Mike Shannon, and that is a big part of the tradition of Cardinal Baseball. The Yankees, is that a Minor league Team ? Oh wait a minute , maybe it is a American League team, same thing ??? Plus using the K3 to receive the games allows me to use the old I need a better antenna act. Thanks Al AD9P
