[Elecraft] My Proposed K3 Configuration so far...

[Phil Hystad]

K3 experts:

I am working on trying to understand all the features I want in my K3 but so far I have worked up the following configuration of things that I definitely will include:

K3/100
KAT3 -- ATU
KXV3A -- IF output and transverter interface
KDVR3 -- DVR

Question:  do I want the TXCO (KTCXO3-1) module?  I think if I get it my reason would be just that I like to have the best stuff but I am not sure I would really know whether I benefit by it or not.

Question:  do I need the USB interface -- this seems to be more then just a USB interface though, from what I can see, unless I am confused, this also includes audio input/output ports.

And, I am still on the fence regarding the sub-receiver and I will decide on filters later after I decide on the basic components (that is, deciding which CW filters I want).

And, another question:  does the general coverage bandpass module give you anything extra besides access to the other non-ham-band frequencies.  Off hand, I don't that that as necessary since I have other radios capable of pulling in that other stuff if I want and I rarely do that.  Or I should say, I never do that.
