[Elecraft] 10 MHz IF for K3 Transverter Operation?

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Not a 10 MHz IF, but provision for a 10 MHz reference INPUT to the K3.
That is the  K3EXREF  External Reference Input for the K3. which allows 
the K3 to lock to an external 10 MHz reference standard.
It is available as a K3 option.

The KXV3 option *does* provide an IF output (at the 8 MHz IF frequency) 
for use with the P3 or other panadapter displays.  That is also an 
option that can be purchased.

Neither is an upgrade - options are add-ons, upgrades are changes to the 
existing hardware.

73,

I operate my K3 using an external 10 MHz frequency reference. The 10 MHz IF capability would allow use of the same external 10 MHz reference as the LO for a transverter covering the 0 to 500 kHz spectrum.
