[Elecraft] K3 P3 and KAT500

Good points.  And, besides that.. MARS communication deals with a military connection.. i.e. sending messages to or from deployed service people, either as written text (morse, digital, etc) or voice, often via phone patches.

If you have a MARS authorization, Elecraft will provide the patch.
However, you do not need it for ARES and/or RACES operations which
are strictly amateur based.  In essence, operate within your amateur
authorizations - don't decide you "need it" just because you want it.

Of course, you will learn that the rules mean something once you have
been licensed more than a couple of years - the current examinations
obviously don't stress that the rules trump any entitlement.
