You will need to send a copy of your MARS credentials via scan or
email.

The region (spectrum) from 7.5 to 9.0 MHz is hard-locked out for TX
though, being too near the IF to be usable or safe for the K3.

Gary will send you a utility program that unlocks TX up to 25 MHz.
There is a second utility that allows TX around CB, with a guard band.
You should ask for both of these.  For Navy-Marine Corps MARS, there
are a large number of "shore ops" and phone patch freqs around CB.
There are plans to use these higher freqs during the solar max for
data exchange, especially radio-only W2LK, and that's inter-service as
I understand it.
