want to buy a K3 - what options do I need ?

[DK5EW]

Hello all,
sri to ask you here but I'm brand new to the K3.
I want to buy a K3 and don't know really what I all need.
Main is a K3/10-F - that is clear.
I want to use it with a external transverter for 144MHz like a
Kuhne/DEMI/HA1YA
I do not see clear what else I need for it. Mainly I wish to operate in
2m digital modes EME/MS and using it for contest on2m.
So any help is welcome.

You will need the KXV3A to use low power and split RX/TX lines between
the K3 and the transverter.
If the transverter can accept higher power levels and you use only a
single TX and RX path to the external transverter, then the KXV3A is not
needed for your application.

Hello dear Gene and Hello all,
yes you are right I will post here what I will order finally that maybe
others with similar interests can see.
I will mainly use that K3 on 144MHz with a transverter in EME and
meteorscatter as well on 2m contest.
Further more I will use it very seldom on short wave/6m and I'm not a CW
operator.
So the list maybe different to others with other interests.
_My personal final configuration is:_
K3/100-F
KA3T-F
KBPF3
KDVR3
KFL3A-2.8-2.7sw
KFL3B-FM
KTCXO3-1
KXV3A
K3STFNR
For transverter my choice is the HA1YA ME2HT-PRO Link:
http://ha1ya.config.hu/htmkepek/me2t_protransverterspec.htm
Later I plan to add the subrx unit and the DSP Panadapter

best regards

Irwin,

Drop the K3STFNR from the list, it is included on new kits or factory
builds.

Remember that there will be a small price increase in September.

You might want to consider accelerating your order!
