KX3 Two Meter Module

[DBellW6AQ]

When is this module going to see the light of day, please?

We prioritized the amp ahead of it (same engineer on both projects).

I'm guessing we'll be field-testing 2-meter modules around Dayton,  
assuming all goes well. (Did I mention this thing is incredibly small?)

Is there any indication yet regarding the stability of the unit on 2m?  Will it have
its own oscillator, or will it be relying on the existing oscillator in the KX3?  VY

It will use the existing oscillator. Since the 2-m module requires  
very low drive from the KX3's 10-watt stage, there will be far less  
heating of the oscillator subsystem than when the KX3 is transmitting  
at normal power levels.

Nonetheless, for SSB/CW/DATA, the operator may want to perform the  
extended temperature compensation procedure. For FM the stability  
should be sufficient without it. We'll post typical frequency  
stability characteristics for 2 meters once we have the data.
