[Elecraft] K3 and MARS

[David F. Reed]

Michael,

MARS requires us to not disclose the frequencies we use or their 
designators, but I do use my K3 on MARS frequencies quite successfully.

There is one modification required, and some self imposed limitations.

The modification is accomplished by running a program Elecraft can 
provide; it is easily revered should you choose to by using the same 
program.

The frequency allocations differ a bit bit associated service (Army 
MARS, Navy Marine Corps MARS, Air Force Mars), but each one will tell 
you theirs on admission.

So, don't worry, your K3 will work very will on the MARS frequencies and 
digital modes they use (with the right sound card  software, etc.).

Good luck!
