[Elecraft] [K3] IF output

[borch at mchsi.com]

My K2 will tune to 8125 and I can hear the IF signal of the K3.  It is weak, but audible.  I have the IF mod installed in my K3

Stan,

The K2 cannot receive that frequency - the dial may say so, but the 
VFO/PLL has maxed out at about 7400 kHz (if you are tuning from 40 
meters) and although the dial continues to increment, the actual 
frequency will not go any higher.  Even if it did, the bandpass filters 
would probably attenuate the signal significantly.  For the same reasons 
I doubt that you can tune downward from 30 meters and get that low.
You will have to use a general coverage receiver.
