[Elecraft] 472KHz/500KHz

It would be even easier if one could use a 10MHz IF for LF. For this the K3
and KX3 (when the code is written) xverter settings could be set to
XVRF=0MHz XVIF=10MHz. This way the accurate 10MHz reference, already applied
to the reference input to the K3 could be used as the local oscillator in
the external transverter

Transmit is not presently allowed below 160 m since low-pass filtering
would not be adequate. We'd have to provide an access code to allowing
opening it up for experimental purposes. But even if we did allow
transmit, I'm not sure receive sensitivity would be adequate for your
purposes. Wouldn't a simple external transceive converter be a better
approach? You could use 7 MHz an an I.F., for example, then use one of
the KX3's transverter bands to show the actual operating frequency in
kHz.
