K3-EME

[K5DNL]

Hello all,

I have been thinking of buying another K3 for
My 2 meter EME station .
Would like to knew if there is anyone doing this
and what kind of power amp they are using.
I know that the 2M output would drive my TE-System
Power amp to about 350 watts.
However later I am planning on a power amp with more
output.
 
Thanks 73 Ken K5DNL

Hi Ken,

Gene, KB7Q, has been using his K3 for 6M EME. Not sure if he has the 2M module yet. He modified and old Dentron amp (the MLA as I recall).

Been pondering adding the 2M module to one of my K3s...

73,
Julius

I have used the k3 on 144 EME with a 400w am6154 amp and no preamp, see
http://g4fre.com/144eme.htm

I have now upgraded to an i0jxx 500w solid state amp see
http://g4fre.com/500w144pa.htm It only needs 3w of drive from the K3 for
full output


The K3 mainly gets used as an I.F. on 1296 thro 5760MHz; my main interest.
The SDRIQ used as a panadaptor sure helps track down the activity
