CTCSS

[Alan. G4GNX]

Hi all.

I don’t have a K3 or 2 metre transverter yet, but I’m hovering and doing my researches before taking the plunge.

This info may be available in the specs somewhere, but I’m lazy and it’s usually quicker to ask.

When operating on 2 metres and perhaps on 70cm, using either the 2M internal module or an external Elecraft transverter, does the K3 provide CTCSS tones for transmit, receive or both? If not, is this something that could be programmable? In the UK, CTCSS is mandatory for transmitting to repeaters, so it’s important to me.

Also, can anyone from Elecraft tell me if there are any plans to offer a high power module or external amplifier for 2 metres and/or 70 cms?


73,

Alan. G4GNX

Alan,

For FM mode transmit tone, the answer is yes.  See page 29 of the K3
manual (download from www.elecraft.com if you have not already done so).
