[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] Article: "Exploring the World Below 530 Kcs With a K3"

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Joe,

Great minds and all that :)  I did find a way to alter the .5-2.0 MHz filter so that it extends coverage down to 100 kHz at low loss. Very simple mod, which I will explain to those who volunteered, hopefully tomorrow.

This will be a receive-only range for the K3, even with the mods.

73,
