K3/K3S with KXV3B Feature request

[Elecraft mailing list]

Wayne/Eric
I'd like to use a lower net gain (on receive) transverter with a K3/K3S.The transverter IF frequency is 28 MHz. Would it be possible to selectively enable Preamp 2 of the KXV3B during transverteroperation? Moving the transverter receive line to "Rx ant. in" andselecting Preamp 2 should result in improved sensitivity (with related changein dynamic range).
Thanks
73, Mike, W3IP

Hi Mike,

Excellent idea. This should be a simple change to the K3/K3S firmware.
