[Elecraft] KX3 Two Meter Module

[Wayne Burdick]

It will use the existing oscillator. Since the 2-m module requires  
very low drive from the KX3's 10-watt stage, there will be far less  
heating of the oscillator subsystem than when the KX3 is transmitting  
at normal power levels.

Nonetheless, for SSB/CW/DATA, the operator may want to perform the  
extended temperature compensation procedure. For FM the stability  
should be sufficient without it. We'll post typical frequency  
stability characteristics for 2 meters once we have the data.
