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? http://www.rsgb.org/news/articlelinks.php?id=0284 73 de David G4DMP -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

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. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, Trevor Smithers <[hidden email]> writes >how about an Elecraft designed, fully filtered, fully integrated, high >stability, >VLF up converter covering 5KHz to 500KHz. -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
