[Elecraft] 472KHz/500KHz

[Matt Maguire]

Did you read in that article how a KXV3 module is used in the K3 to bypass the high pass filtering used to protect the T/R PIN diodes? The KX3 has the same filtering, but no possibility for a KXV3 module. Therefore, the KX3 is not really usable below around 1500kHz.

If you want to get onto the 600m band with a KX3, you'll need to look at building a transverter.
