[K3] K3S IF Range for transverters

[Nate Burr]

I was wondering if the K3S has any new updates to it’s IF range for transverter use. I would love to be able to get on the full 70cm (420 - 450MHz).

My understanding is the K3 + XV432 only gives me 432 - 434 MHz

Thanks,
Nate

Hi Nate,

The RF range for transverters is limited by the band selected as the IF. The K3 and K3S both have an IF range of 28-30 on 10 meters.

There's a possibility of opening this up somewhat by using the KBPF3 filters rather than the 10-meter filter. But there's no way to get all of 420-450 MHz.
