k3 & WWV

Hello,

Can WWV at 10 MHz be copied on the K3 without the KBPF3 General Coverage Module?

Thanks

Yes. You can also copy it at 5, 15, and 20 MHz without the KBPF3.

Re: k3 & WWV

FWIW, I try and use 10 MHz as a last resort for zero-beat. The house is
filled with 10 MHz clocks from various electronic appliances, all of them
being nowhere near WWV accuracy so it can make zero beat adjustments
difficult, depending on the incoming signal strength. However, when I make
a check, it's when the K3 is on the 30m band.

Because of potential interference issues, including my own GPS-DO, I prefer
to use CHU since they transmit at odd carrier frequencies that are not as
subject to interference from nearby clocked sources. CHU has relatively
good coverage down to the southeast, but I also acknowledge that CHU is not
heard in many parts of the world.

The 10-MHz ham-band filter is definitely wide enough to provide
adequate MDS at 10 MHz. The same goes for the 14 MHz filter at 15 MHz,
and the 5.3 MHz filter at 5.0 MHz.
