[Elecraft] 4 metre module (70 Mhz) module possible for the KX3

[Barry Middleton]

Hello Wayne,
                         Thank you for the information on the 2 metre 
module for the KX3, I will be ordering one on Friday 16th. I would also 
be interested in a 4 Metre module as that band is getting very popular 
in region1. Just an idea Wayne, would it be possible to have it mounted 
in a seperate enclosure, so as to avoid opening up the KX3 to change 
bands. Just my thoughts and I realise it may not be possible for 
technical reasons. May I wish you and all at Elecraft a sucessful time 
at Dayton.

                     73,
                     Barry G4DBS
