[Elecraft] K3 60-Meter Dial Display Frequencies

[Mike Morrow]

> Can someone please give me a list of dial display frequencies
> used with a K3 for USB and CW on 60 Meters, all five Channels?

The following table shows which modes may be used on which frequencies:

Displayed
Frequency                         Authorized Modes (Emissions)

5330.5 kHz   USB Phone (2K80J3E), USB PSK31 (60H0J2B), USB PACTOR-III (2K80J2D)
5332.0 kHz   CW (150HA1A)

5346.5 kHz   USB Phone (2K80J3E), USB PSK31 (60H0J2B), USB PACTOR-III (2K80J2D)
5348.0 kHz   CW (150HA1A)

5357.0 kHz   USB Phone (2K80J3E), USB PSK31 (60H0J2B), USB PACTOR-III (2K80J2D)
5358.5 kHz   CW (150HA1A)

5371.5 kHz   USB Phone (2K80J3E), USB PSK31 (60H0J2B), USB PACTOR-III (2K80J2D)
5373.0 kHz   CW (150HA1A)

5403.5 kHz   USB Phone (2K80J3E), USB PSK31 (60H0J2B), USB PACTOR-III (2K80J2D)
5405.0 kHz   CW (150HA1A)

I store these ten frequencies shown above in ten memories on my various HF rigs, in pairs of two with USB mode stored for the first and CW mode stored for the second of each pair.

Background:

The FCC report related to the 05 March 2012 60 meter band rule changes was published in the Federal Register at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-02-03/pdf/2012-2477.pdf .

It authorizes five 3 kHz channels, each with the following channel CENTER frequencies:

5332.0 kHz
5348.0 kHz
5358.5 kHz
5373.0 kHz
5405.0 kHz .

It designates five channel CARRIER frequencies that are 1.5 kHz BELOW the channel CENTER frequencies:

5330.5 kHz
5346.5 kHz
5357.0 kHz
5371.5 kHz
5403.5 kHz .

The authorized emissions and frequencies for 60 meters are:

150HA1A  CW Morse telegraphy. 
         Transmitter dial must be set to the channel CENTER frequency.
2K80J3E  USB phone.
         Transmitter dial must be set to the channel CARRIER frequency
         (which is 1.5 kHz BELOW the channel CENTER frequency).
60H0J2B  RTTY (ONLY PSK31, sent on USB phone).
         Transmitter dial must be set to the channel CARRIER frequency
         (which is 1.5 kHz BELOW the channel CENTER frequency).
2K80J2D  DATA (ONLY PACTOR-III, sent on USB phone).
         Transmitter dial must be set to the channel CARRIER frequency
         (which is 1.5 kHz BELOW the channel CENTER frequency).

The applicable 47CFR97 regulations are found at http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&SID=1e17c74c2975ff111a839967ad3f2f38&rgn=div5&view=text&node=47:5.0.1.1.6&idno=47#47:5.0.1.1.6.4.157.2
