transverter connection
Locked

Hello Group, One of my tramsverters does not have separated IF input and output terminals. Does this mean that I cannot use the KXV3? Am I only allowed to use the ANT port for connection?

Hi Johhny,
There are two ways to drive a single line RF IN/OUT transverter with the KXV3. 1. You can use a BNC 'T' connector with a short (<3 to 6")coax to jumper the in and out XV connections together and then drive your single line transverter. 2. You can jumper a small wire between the two BNC pins on the KXV3 PCB. 73, Eric WA6HHQ ---- johnny wrote: > Hello Group, > > One of my tramsverters does not have separated IF input and output terminals.

Although I have the latest firmwares installed from factory delivery the
firmware label on the board says US band limits Is there available EU firmware to install EU limits??? Or did I miss something on the firmware pages Rgds Simon Simon Lewis GM4PLM/DL4PLM http://www.dl4plm.net _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Does that requirement exist for home built equipment? Surely you could
argue that the K3 is something you built yourself. Except for the Foundation level, the authorities seem to take the attitude, "We publish the band limits, you stick within them, or you will experience sanctions." 73 Kevin VK3DAP / ZL2DAP Toby Deinhardt wrote: > > Although I have the latest firmwares installed from factory delivery > > the firmware label on the board says US band limits > > I've asked about this too a couple times, but never saw an answer: > > What if I take my K3 on an expedition to place where the US band limits > are not restrictive enough.

In some countries yes.
If I remember correctly places like Malta and Thailand require "hard" band limits in the hardware (firmware), and they check for them too. vy 73 de toby -- DD5FZ (ex 4n6fz, dj7mgq, dg5mgq, dd5fz) K2/10 #885 K2/100 #3248 K3/100 #67 DOK C12, BCC, DL-QRP-AG, JN58td KBG Luxford wrote: > Does that requirement exist for home built equipment?

Actually I was thinking more of HF band limits between EU and NA

Now that sounds like a VERy good idea, then those that want limits can have

I don't know Thai law at all, but if it's that easy to change the band
limits, would the Thai authorities consider the radio to have band limits at all?

What countries would not allow those radios to come in to the country with me? Will they not let me operate? I have not run into this restriction in about 15 or so countries so far. I just want to know where I don't want to go to visit and operate. 73 Hank K8DD _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
