[Elecraft] 500 kHz Transceive Operation With the K3

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Am I missing something, or is the K3 capable of going below 500 kHz? 

500 kHz is near the top of the 600 meter "marine" band which extends down
nearly to 400 kHz (IIRC 426 kHz is a popular frequency). 

Of course, once you get to 400 kHz there are those who love spooking the
non-directional beacons just below 400 kHz. 

And who wants to miss the broadcasts from the giant Alexanderson Alternator
at Grimeton on 17 kHz ;-)

The K2's synthesizer won't go low enough in frequency. You could 
probably modify it, but I haven't tried this.
