[Elecraft] K3 and Sequencer

[Evert Bakker (PA2KW)]

Hello Ron,

Yes I am.
I raised this issue several month ago during the announcement of the K3.
I did suggest the "Ten-Tec solution" which works fantastic.
Before RF gets out (either from the main antenna or transverter RF-out), the
TX-Request initiated by the PTT/VOX/Key from the K3 (which should be
available on one of it's acc connectors) has to confirmed (TX-Enable) by the
sequencer. Together with the KXV3 board, it would be a fantastic solution to
use this radio for serious VHF/UHF operation.
Either Eric or Wayne (forgot who answered me) put this topic on the
wish-list and promised me to contact me (and others) if and when they decide
to add this option.

I'm most willing to develop a sequencer-board and make it available when the
K3 will have this option integrated.

I do have a homebrew sequencer and audio-interface for using FSK441 and JT65
on 144 Mc together with my homebrew transverter but a "quick and dirty" one.

Let's keep in touch.

73's, Evert PA2KW

I think many of us would use the K3 not only on HF but also for VHF 
because of the excellent phase noise characteristics and dynamic 
range.

As such a sequencer build into the K3 would be ideal to switch the PA 
and antenna relays.

Would it be possible to make an option board for this.
This would be a minor task for the CPU, but would be so neat!

I want one, any one else intrested ?
