-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've always thought that Elecraft should come out with a VHF/UHF all mode rig based on the K3.
Yes, I know about the outboard transverters but I'm talking about some thing like the old Yaesu FT-736 or Icom IC-910 based on the K3. I've never liked the FT-847 or TS-2000 approach of stuffing a radio with DC to daylight. If something goes wrong with the rig you lose both HF and VHF/UHF. Elecraft has all the parts sitting in stock. Use the guts of the transverters and integrate them into a K3 sized box with the same DSP and control boards. Getting 100W out on 2m/70cm will need a new PA design (50V???). I guarantee it's more complicated than that and it's not something that I'd want Elecraft to waste time doing if it means putting something "K3" on the back burner. It all depends on if there's a market niche that needs filling. I think there is but could be wrong. - -- R.
