Allan, If you operate HF with the K2 as well as transverters, then the K60XV is the only way to go IMHO - the HF antennas stay connected and the transverter connects to the transverter IN and OUT jacks.
BTW, I would recommend either buying the updated lower rear panel or drilling your existing one for the RCA jacks on the rear panel. Using the upper BNC jack holes creates a problem with serviceability when the top cover is removed - unless you provide some means of disconnecting the cables between those jacks and the K60XV board. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/4/2012 10:46 AM, [email protected] wrote: > I am about to jump into the world of transverters with the purchase of > an XV144 to pair > with my K2.
