I am looking at ordering a K3, and I have begun wondering...
Just how loaded with options can it get?
I will try to illustrate what I mean:
First let us assume no sub-receiver...
1. Roofing filters - how many can you install?
Can you get in all the 7 and 8 pole ones?
Then, adding the sub receiver:
2. Same question for the second receiver; limit on roofing filters?
3. What of the General Coverage RX filter; if you might be using both
non-ham band at the moment, can you fit two in there?
4. What will I need to do for MARS work?
Is the General Coverage RX filter required?
What of the spectral purity outside of the ham bands?
5. TCXO - assuming one had all this stuff (dual RX< all the roofing
filters for each rx, TCXO, the ATU, Transverter interface, USB
adapter, DVR, and so on... Will it all fit and play together? I
realize this sounds kind of funny, but for example, you cannot fit
every option at the same time inside a K2, right? Like the ATU
and the 100 watt module eat the same space...
Just looking to understand the limits...
Thanks
