[Elecraft] QRP signals from Pathfinder probe (off topic)

[Don Wilhelm]

Certainly, with a proper transverter (or down converter) and adequate 
receive antennas, the K3 could serve as a suitable IF.  The decode of 
the received data is quite another matter.
Will anyone do that with their K3, I don't know, but the K3 is capable 
enough given an adequate down converter.  One would likely need a stable 
frequency reference, and the K3 has the option for an external reference.
