[K3] New 472kHz LF band

David Pratt
I see from the report of WRC-12 that a new band 472-479kHz is to be
allocated on a world-wide basis with an eirp of 5W (1W in some
countries).  The K3 receiver currently goes down to 490kHz.  Is there
any likelihood that this could be extended down to cover the new band?

Failing that how about an Elecraft designed, fully filtered, fully integrated, high stability,
VLF up converter covering 5KHz to 500KHz.

This would cater for the Natural Radio listeners, Alpha stations, numerous high power
transmissions used by hams as propagation beacons, 136KHz band, NDB hunters and
the new 472KHz allocation.

I very much doubt that Elecraft would be interested in producing such a
device, Trevor, particularly as similar VLF up converters are already
available.  My query was really questioning whether the existing K3
could be adapted for the forthcoming new band.
