Hi Olli, My primary interest would have been for 70cm FM, but I'm open to experimentation. I'm still haven't ruled out purchasing the K144XV just for that reason. A small log-periodic and a 160 watt mirage 2m amplifier might be fun to play with.
Anyway, I guess I should say that it would have been nice if it was possible to have 2m/70cm internal transverter, rather than just 2m alone. My original question was more or less leading to that; what sort of limitations exist in the K3's hardware that prevented such a module from being designed in the first place? 73 de James K2QI On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 4:07 AM, Oliver "Olli" Dröse <[email protected]> wrote: > James, > > if your only interest is 440 FM then a handheld or mobile TRX should be a > much > cheaper solution. ;-)) > > Having fitted the K144XV in my K3 I would not see any available space > anymore to > also fit a 70 and/or 23 cm transverter inside, too.
