WTB: KBPF3 Gen Cov Module

While we are at it, I'll take one to.

(I just was planning to put up the same want advertisement.)

Hi:

I am looking for a KBPF3 General Coverage Rx Module for the K3. The module
must be complete with the hardware in excellent operating condition. Someone
must have one that they are not using. Tnx

WTB: KRX3-F High Performance Subreceiver for the K3-F (was KBPF3 Gen Cov Module)

Ooops, my bet.............I am NOT looking for the KBPF3.
I am in need of the KRX3-F High Performance Subreceiver for the K3-F (incl.
2.7 kHz filter).

I just bought a fully loaded K3/100F without the Subreceiver.
Sorry about that.

I have been told that aluminum does not last very long in contact with the ground. You might wish to verify whether burying aluminum is a good idea.

Actually it was in a Plastic Bag, so I think it had minimal contact.

David,

Actually, aluminum will hold up OK in many soil conditions - although in
highly acid soils, it will become rather brittle.
Squirrels and other rodents chewing on the aluminum wire is more of a
problem.
So my conclusion is that if you want in-ground radials that will last
for about 3 years, you can save over the cost of copper by using
aluminum - make your long term choices depending on your ham budget.
If you are using elevated radials, aluminum is great - but put them high
enough so that humans, deer and other animals can pass under them
without harm to the radials or the beast. If you are in an area where
riders on horseback could pass, use plentiful warning signs. My
criteria is 10 feet above ground, but yours may vary. I have lots of
trees (we live in a forested area) , so buried radials are not practical
due to tree roots, so I use electric fence insulators attached to the
trees to support elevated radials.

For a good source of aluminum wire, look to suppliers of electric fence
wire. I use the 17 AWG size for my radials.

Aluminum/Copper Alloys do not last long in the presence of Sodium Chloride which is present in most soil and plentiful in most water, particularly runoff and sea water. The alloy use for fence wire should be usable for radials, but will not last as long as copper.
