Use of the K3 for satellites
I now own a new Elecraft K3 and wondering about its use (with xvtrs) on satellite. I have the dual-Rx set up and is capable of full duplex operation. It has computer control via an RS-232 I/F (built in). Just wondering if anyone else has gone this direction? If it is possible then I may consider retiring my FT-847.
