[Elecraft] [KX3] Band Plans

[Raymond Sills]

It's certainly a strange situation, reaching the "band edge" at 53 MHz.  I'll have to admit, I've never tuned up that high in the band to see if I have the same situation with my KX3.  I know that there are a number of repeaters here in EPA, and I'm sure some must be using that last MHz of the band.
Historically, 6 meter repeaters grew to be popular in this area (near Philly) for mobile FM operation, because there were no over-the-air TV stations on Channel 2, and that would afford a 6 MHz buffer zone between that upper end of 6 meters and the Channel 3 station... a luxury not enjoyed by areas that did have a station on TV Channel 2.

The original poster is in Australia. He’d be thrilled to hit a 6 m repeater in Cincinnati, but that might not be his primary use. :-)It appears that VK has permission to use 50-54 MHz, so I’m not sure why that isn’t working. The KX3 will work at 54 MHz.
