Hi,

I'm not a lawyer or an expert for customs duties.

Anybody who, is importing equipment to the European Union should check
this database <http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds/en/tarhome.htm>
because, according to the newest issue of the CQ-DL and the DARC website
there new custom numbers for amateur radio equipment in the EU:


8517699090-0 :
<http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds/cgi-bin/tardesc?ProdLine=80&Type=&Action=1&Lang=EN&SimDate=20070728&YesNo=1&Indent=-1&Flag=1&Test=&Periodic=0&Download=0&Taric=8517699090&Country=----------&Day=28&Month=07&Year=2007>

I'm not sure which number, 8517699090-0 or 8517620090-0, would actually
apply to the K3 or FLEX-5000.

Well #114 far exceeds my expectations.

My main use is for VHF/UHF as an IF driver for microwaves.

Yesterday it got connected to my Mutek 144 MHz tvtr which drives my dual
band 10g/24g tvtrs

I am really impressed with the audio quality, my ham friend who came to have
a look had his jaw on the floor and simply said "wow!"

Really superb audio!  Even at 100 Hz - no ringing - clean crisp audio with a
lovely "feel" to it - not harsh like my pro 2.

Filtering is excellent and monitoring some of the beacons yesterday revealed
how useful this baby will be - most people think that you can drive
microwave tvtrs with an FT290 and it will work as good as a top line radio -
which is nonsense - I need end to end performance and the K3 allows me to
dig into weak signals unlike a normal VHF multimode like a 290 never could

Low noise receiver is excellent and with my heil this sounds super - really
pleased.

No major issues during built - all smoothly put together - 1 evening and 1
mornings work. (I had a head start having built a number of K2s)

So ... Impressed and waiting for this to develop further ....

Some great features and with the 2nd rx this will really add to my station
capabilty

Well done Elecraft - another impressed customer!

:-)

And here is the final #114 finished and working on 10g/24g!

Simon,

Have you thought about satellite / duplex operation with the K3? It's not
urgent - for LEO I have my TS-2000 but am thinking EME and HEO.

For LEO / HEO duplex is important but I have not worked out a solution
regarding switching I/O with the K3, I have a sub-rx on order.

FWIW I do not suffer from strong signals locally.
