Hi I have maybe a dumb quiz, but which of the the
options are within the fully assambled radio K3?
Filters etc???
73 Rag
LA6FJA/K3RAG
=====================
Here is how I optioned mine. 10 watts, if I like it
I'll upgrade it to 100 watts. $1399. Cool. Comes with
a 2.7 roofing filter and a noise blanker. Great deal.
$99 TXCO - passed on that, I don't need 1 ppm
precision when 5 ppm comes with the radio. That's good
for CW and SSB (my modes).
$99 General Coverage - purchased that, because without
it, the ham band filters are engaged and that means
serious attenuation of any SWL frequency that is more
than a couple hundred kilohertz away from a ham band
edge.
$120 AM filter - nope, although it's required for AM
transmit, 10 meters is the only band where I might use
it and I have hollow state rigs for that.
$99 FM filter - nope, although it's required for FM
transmit, 6 and 10 meters are the places for that and
I do CW and SSB there. I'm also not sure about CTSS on
the K3.
$79 CW Filter - nope, my choice would be 800hz, I'll
wait for the variable filters in the couple of years
that the bands are soft.
What a great starting point for a reliable core
station, and I expect there will be all manner of kits
that will support the radio, since they would be less
likely to require SMT. (fleas). ;-)
$539 Subreceiver - for contests, not needed here for
search & pounce.
$99 DVR - for contests, not needed here for search &
pounce.
$259 Auto tuner - not yet.
$79 Transverter - not yet.
$39 USB adapter - not yet.
The biggest selling points of the radio for me are the
taylorable AGC and the reputation of Elecraft for
designing a radio I can count on.
I always use a speaker and enjoy hearing a louder
signal when it's bigger. That works all the way up to
"room filling". There are not many rigs these days
that will allow that because the AGC is oppressive and
overbearing, ruthless and just plain mean. ;-)
