MARS bands?

[Timothy Gordish-2]

I am contemplating purchase of a new KX-3 but I must know that it can be used on MARS bands.  I sent an e-mail inquiry to elecraft but no response yet.  I also googled of course, but no definite answer there.  Couldn’t find anything in the archives here either.

At this point it appears that either it isn’t possible, or it is top secret information.

Hi Tim,

I'm a Navy-Marine Corps MARS member and I use my KX3 and KXPA100 for
our nets and other operations, out of the ham bands.

Our support staff can help you with this.  You'll need to forward a
copy of your MARS credentials.  Please contact support when the office
is open, after 9 AM Pacific Time.

There is no top secret agenda here, at least that I am aware of.

73!

Tim,
The KX3 works fine for MARS, I use it for AF MARS, no change to it is
required or no change to firmware or hardware is needed.
Only problem is it will not transmit from 25 MHz to 28 MHz, there are some
digital and voice nets in that freq range that I can not use with the KX3.
I do not use the KXPA100 so not sure about it.  73
