[Elecraft] [600MRG] Use of K3 on 600m (and below)

[Edward R Cole]

Correct.

Refer to the K3 manual, page 56, KXV3:  "If KXV3 is set to TEST, the 
K3 will use low power (0.1 to1.50 mw) on all bands, including hte HF 
and transverter bands.  RF input/output is via teh XVTR IN/OUT jacks 
in this case.  To access the TEST setting, KXV3 must first be set to 
NOR, then K3 turned off/on.

The K3 will transmit on any frequency from 490-KHz to 30-MHz in the 
test mode if you have the General Coverage filter installed.

This procedure is how I used the K3 to transmit on 495-510 KHz under 
the experimental license WD2XSH/45.  I found I only need 0.1 mw to 
drive my NDB transmitter.  I insert the K3 drive in place of the 
standard xtal oscillator.  Details of this is on my 600m webpage.

Fred,

I believe Ed is referring to the KXV3 TEST mode.  See page 50 of the
manual, the first bullet in the Milliwat TX Gain Calibration.

That is different than TX TEST.
