Up- and Downgrading the K3

[dj7mgq]

Hi,

What will the downgrading of the K3 involve?

For example a K3 with subreceiver would not be a legal TRX for the IARU Region 1
FD in the "limited" class. In this class no secondary RXs are allowed, so to
legalize the K3, the KRX3 would need to be removed.

A major open heart operation? Something which can done in a few minutes the field?

Or just set the subreceiver AF GAIN to zero?

Hi Lyle,

That is a no go - the CW & SSB FDs here in DL have umpires, who drive
around checking that the antennas, distance to the next building,
distance to the power grid, rigs etc. are compliant with the rules. If
the rules say no secondary RX then that means NO secondary RX. For
example you could not "legally" use the Orion in the limited class.

These FDs are very important to our local club as part of the german
club championship, i.e. we can not afford to even bend the rules too
far.
