[Elecraft] want to buy a K3 - what options do I need ?

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Erwin,
Although I dont play with EME my suggestions would be as follows:
K3/10 10 W Transceiver
KXV3A  KXV3A RX Ant., IF Out and Xverter Interface
K144XV Internal 2 M 10w Module Kit for the K3
K144RFLK K144XV Reference Lock Board
KTCX03-1  (0.5 ppm typ) High Stability Ref. Osc
KDVR3 Digital Voice Recorder

And for filters I would use the following:
Leave the 2.7KHz 5 pole filter that comes with the radio (It is use for all 
transmitting) and additionally get a 400Hz 8 pole filter or something 
narrower, depending on what you prefer for CW.
For SSB I would look at the 8 pole 1.8KHz filter, it seems to be just about 
perfect for SSB in my experience but if you are going to be using CW mostly 
then leave the 8 pole 1.8KHz filter off of your list.

I hope this helps,

Hello all,
sri to ask you here but I'm brand new to the K3.
I want to buy a K3 and don't know really what I all need.
Main is a K3/10-F - that is clear.
I want to use it with a external transverter for 144MHz like a
Kuhne/DEMI/HA1YA
I do not see clear what else I need for it. Mainly I wish to operate in
2m digital modes EME/MS and using it for contest on2m.
So any help is welcome.

best regards
