[Elecraft] K3 and satellite comms

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Satellite comms usually require full duplex operation, and the K3 does 
not do that, nor can the transmit frequency be changed while 
transmitting at this time.

The year the K3 was first shown at Dayton, I overheard Wayne addressing 
duplex operation, and he stated that it would *might* be possible when 
using the transverter outputs, but definitely not from the high power 
output.  The "might be possible" was qualified by Wayne stating that it 
would require a lot of testing for interactions.

73,
