Hans,
Impressive kit. Good that you are agreeable to writing in extra code
to implement Tx delay functioning.
Probably a good solution for those with no 630m transmit capability.
I have a K3 which operates down to 490-KHz with mw output and after I
update with the new synth board designed for the K3S, it will operate
down to 2200m. I converted a 100w NDB transmitter by removing the
xtal osc. and capacitively coupling 0.1mw able to get full
output. So I run digital modes via computer interface.
The K3 is used for eme on 6m/2m/23cm with JT65.
73, Ed
