[Elecraft] CB band TX? - I'm shocked!

[Ken Kopp]

Eric's reply (below) reads as if the K3 will TX in the 27 mHz
CB band as built.  Surely no self-respecting Elecraft owner
would soil his radio by transmitting in the CB band!  The
radio should self-destruct if a user attempted to transmit
there.

It should -always- block CB band transmit. I don't know of a
legitimate reason for a K3 to transmit on 27 Mhz anywhere
in the world.

Say it isn't so, please ....

Please note that the K3 -always- blocks high power TX in the CB band,
regardless of what is programmed in for band TX limits.
