[Elecraft] Using the K3 down to 461-KHz

I am licensed under the ARRL 600m Experimental Group which operates 
495-510 KHz.  The warc recommendations for 461-469, 471-478 KHz are 
below the current min. freq. for the K3, 480-KHz.  Will the K3 
operate down there with a firmware change or will it take hardware 
mods?  If the allocation is approved our experimental license may be 
modified for operating (or cancelled since ham licenses will be approved).

One of the deciding factors for buying my K3/10 was the ability to 
operate on MW bands (in TEST mode).  If the K3 cannot move down there 
I will be forced to build a special transverter for the purpose.  Just curious.
