[Elecraft] K3 on VLF

[David Olean]

Hi Dave,
    You are out of luck below 490 kHz. Also, you need the general coverage 
board so that you can tune below 1.8 MHz. There is a bandpass filter that 
rolls off on the normal antenna jack, (for BCB protection)  but you can use 
the aux antenna jack on the KIO3 strip and get great sensitivity down thru 
the broadcast band. I am told that you can generate rf as well out of the 
transverter ports at 1 mw down to 500 kHz, but no luck with 137 kHz  with a 
stock radidio.  I use the K3 sometimes to listen to the broadcast band at 
night. It is very sensitive and selective.
