[Elecraft] K3 P3 and KAT500

[Brian Hunt]

As far as I know ARES members only operate within the amateur band allocations. Your K3 should cover what you need as is. Maybe you are thinking about MARS - Military Affiliate Radio System who do operate outside of the amateur band allocations. For that you will need the radio software mod available from Elecraft with proof you are a MARS member. 

The KAT500 will handle all the power the K3 can output.
