[Elecraft] 4-Meter (70 MHz) module possible for the KX3

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

We'll be taking orders for the KX3-2M module, at Dayton and via the web, starting next Friday, May 16th. (Please don't call Elecraft about this yet -- we won't be set up to take orders until then.)

Meanwhile, we're thinking about doing a 4-meter version. 4 meters is not available in the U.S., yet, but it is available in many countries in ITU region 1 (Europe, Africa, Middle East, etc.). For details, see:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-meter_band.

A KX3-4M would be identical to the 2-meter version, with about 3 watts output, a very low noise figure, and all-mode operation. It would use the same PCB, requiring only component changes. Unfortunately there isn't room for both 2- and 4-meters on one module.

Any interest in a KX3-4M?

73,
