[Elecraft] K3 - mods for Mars/CAP

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

William, send an e-mail to "support at elecraft dot com" and they'll provide
you with firmware to load using the K3 utility that opens up your K3 for
MARS frequencies. 

Not sure about CAP (Civil Air Patrol?). The FCC forbids the use of any
equipment for communications in other services that isn't type-approved for
that service other than those specifically approved by the FCC, such as MARS
operations. 

My gosh, is that LARC the Lockheed Amateur Radio Club? I'm an "old" Lockheed
Missiles and Space guy from the 60's, Hi!

We have a gov net that we check into weekly at the EOC here at our  
installation.  It uses frequencies assigned by the NTIA and are near,  
but slightly below or above the ham bands.  Can the K3 be modified to  
transmit on these frequencies?  How?
