[Elecraft] K3 Sub-receiver use

[hb9ari]

Hi Bill,

Thank you for your reply and info !
Good idea to use filtering on 6m !
For the moment, i was looking
for 6m phone, it's why a "wide"
band survey is useful. But digi
mode can be envisaged.

My best 73,
Rudolf, HB9ARI

PS Hope to meet you for HB9 on 20m JT65A !
During last week-end, i made my
1st QSO with Hawaii (KH6OO)
on 20m JT65A
Ready from my "camping" site(QRZ.com)
from Wednesday evening to
Sunday afternoon.
