[Elecraft] [KX3] Band Plans

[Andy McMullin]

Yup,

I’ve just checked and my KX3 goes up to 54.000 and no further — but at least it doesn’t stop at 53.000 MHz so it would work fine for the Australian 50 - 54 MHz band plan.

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.

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.
