[Elecraft] K3 Has anyone compiled a macro for 630 Meter operation

[Edward R Cole]

You probably could benefit from a BC band reject filter.  I bought 
one a few years ago anticipating station on 550-KHz in Anchorage 
might inpack my 600m Rx on 510-KHz.  I bought the Clifton Labs Z10020 
Medium Wave Broadcast Band Reject Filter (540-1700 KHz).

I forget the exact price but think it was in the $60-70 
neighborhood.  Rejection is something like 60-80 dB.

I did see an improvement it the receive noise floor below about 520-KHz

Connect to the KXV3 xvt-Rx BNC jack.  Use of the K3 on 630m requires 
a KXV3 as you transmit in the TEST mode at 1mw thru the KXV3 xvt-Tx 
BNC.  This is good as you will need to drive a PA which will not pass 
received signals.  An external coax TR relay is needed after the PA 
to  bypass RF to the xvt-Rx port.

Considering that all I hear down there is broadcast station birdies, I'm
guessing you're right. :-(
