Now that the KX3 ordering frenzy is in full force, my thoughts jump
ahead to integrating the KX3 for 144-148 MHz coverage. Assuming the
KX3 will only cover 28-30 MHz (like the K3) for full xmit output, I
am assuming there will be a 2-freq. LO in the 144-28 MHz module
(transverter). Is there a control line brought out on any line on
the accessory jack for controlling this?
I have a DEMI 144-28 running that can "stand in" until the Elecraft
144-28 is ready for production. I am getting a PLL for the DEMI
transverter which can be programmed for multiple freq. and has logic
control for switching between pre-programmed freq. This will be set
up for ch1=116.000 MHz and ch2=118.000 MHz, which permits full
coverage of 144-148/28-30 MHz. But I need access to the KX3 for
switching the LO freq.
I will probably set up the KX3 in my shack for mundane duty
monitoring 2m-FM channels. This will also be interfaced with a TNC
for VHF-packet. Of course I will probably play HF-QRP with it on CW,
WSPR, and psk-31. It also may serve as a 6m prop monitor when I am
running the K3 on other bands.
I am eager to install the embedded 2m module for the convenience of
moving to-from mobile and for carry-on when traveling by air.
Looking forward to popping in 8 AA's and taking it to FD this
year. Bet I can be the first station that is on-air (using a 20m mobile ant.).
