[Elecraft] Re: Announcing the Elecraft K3 Transceiver: 10/100W, 160-6m, Assembled or Kit

[Larry Phipps]

I see there is an IF output (2nd IF I assume). What are the IF 
frequencies? Does the IF output follow rcvr selection? If I connect it 
to my Z90 Panadapter, can I totally disable the roofing filters or does 
it default to the widest one? If the latter, will you offer a w-i-d-e LC 
filter option, or do I need to pull out the 1st IF ahead of the roofing 
filters? What is the BW if I don't put roofing filters in one receiver?

I could go on, but I don't want to spoil your convention ;-)

73,
