Elecraft K3 MARS Mod Software


I'm not sure how old/new the file in that link is, but here is the latest version of the unlock software. Originally, too many MARS frequencies were being blocked in the 10/11 meter range so Elecraft updated the software in July. This one unlocks pretty much everything except around the 1st IF and the CB band. You need firmware version 4.00 or later and the General RX option to prevent serious attenuation.

Thanks for the update,
The one I posted is version 1.00.0015 as is the software you posted.
Neither version permits transmission on 27.??? (I just tested both versions on my K3)
Anything else is fair game though.
(I have the General Coverage option board fitted, as well as a coupla others like the internal 2M transverter etc.)

So there ya go :)
 
K3 Mars Software

I tried the software but it only allows the comport to use ports 1-10.
Unfortunately my com port is com 18!
A windows problem! using Win 7 64bit and have forgotton how to change the com ports for devices. Device manger not giving me any opportunities.
Any advice?

I know this is an old thread but I have been scrounging around for the K3 MARS mod for some time. When I contacted the Electraft they said I had to submit a MARS participation # before they would give me the code. Wondering if the exe. file will work on my computer. I run only linux since 1996. Any help is appreciated.
