[Elecraft] 70 MHz on K3

[David Pratt]

I agree, Eric, it would certainly be nice if the K3 covered 70MHz.  As 
has been suggested one way of doing it would be to use a modified XV50 
external transverter.  I believe someone has already produced some mods 
that enable the XV50 to operate on 70MHz. That would run up to 25W on CW 
and SSB.
