[Elecraft] K3 transverter using 14 MHz I.F. - upper freq limit ?

[David Anderson]

Thanks again Don. 

Yes I would not have the brass neck to expect the UK dealer to help if I had a problem after bypassing them on the purchase. 

It is unlikely I will buy anything other than a kit from the USA. So no customs duty, though sometimes the customs get that wrong and you need to appeal. There was a letter about that in Radcom this very month. 

Either that or a I get a used unit from someone in the UK. That is my preferred option and I have had one lead so far from a fairly local ham.

I found some interesting info on the K3 transmit phase noise on various bands today. 14 MHz looks like one of the best bands to use as the IF provided I can transmit up to about 14.4 MHz.
