Hi Dave,
The K3 includes 60 meters.
Operation down to 500 kHz does present challenges. We'll post
performance numbers for the low range when we have them.
At present there would be no way to transmit below 1.8 MHz. However, it
is possible that we could provide a special band-pass filter array,
since the the KBPF3 is a plug-in module.
I've added this to the future features discussion list ;)
tnx
