Now that the K144XV is available and a lot of us are planning to use it to 
drive microwave transverters, it would be really nice if there was some way to 
easily adjust IF gain. I know there was a gain change after 3.97 so it appears 
this is available in the firmware. Is there a way that along with RF freq, IF 
freq and offset offered in the XV config that there could be a gain per band 
setting added? When you add a transverters, most times the transverter has a 
fair amount of conversion gain and having the S-meter sit at S5 with noise 
doesn't help dynamic range. For eme'ers, we typically have lots of gain in 
preamps that drives the S-meter up. Using the ATT works but it's either in or 
out, nothing in between.

Just a thought.
