[Elecraft] 600 meters

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Ken,

I appreciate your enthusiasm for coverage of this range. There's not  
quite a free lunch here, though. The KX3 will receive down to about  
300 kHz, but there's a moderate-slope high-pass filter in the T/R  
switch to prevent PIN-diode IMD due to high-amplitude LF signals. So  
the sensitivity decreases as you go down in frequency. When we get a  
chance we'll put some numbers on it.

73,
Wayne
N6KR
