You could sell it to me.... But there are advantages in an external transverter. In my case I am thinking of putting it and my 70 MHz (XV70) transverter a long way away from the radio, to overcome long coax losses. Cable loss at 28MHz is not a problem for my 30m run as there is more than enough drive and gain. The only problem with this is the auxbus to select between the transverters and operate the PTTs will not go 30m.
The K144XV has several faults. Itdoes not have a PTT output to drive a linear - a mistake that should have been easily avoided by consulting the community. The promised microwave compatible transverter output was not implemented either. I think if the K144XV had included a PTT output I would still have bought it just for convenience. If it had had the 144MHz transverter ports it would probably be an even bigger seller. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-XV144-K144XV-Considering-Sale-of-XV144-to-replace-with-K144XV-need-advice-tp5436851p5447315.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
