I would say go for it, Gary. The Elecraft transverters all have a high gain, low noise front end using the ATF-34143 Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). I presume your VK friend will be using the internal (K144XV) 2M xverter and the external (XV432) 70cm xverter. If he is going to get the K144XV I would recommend he also gets the K144RFLK to ensure best stability when using CW/SSB/Data.
I do not have the 70cm XV432, but have the internal 2m xverter and an external XV70 4m and they work fine. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, Gary Gregory <[email protected]> writes >*Has anyone got a K3 with the 2M and 70cm transverters got any comments >plus or minus as to performance. > >I don't have them myself but a VK is about to order his K3 and will be >adding these transverters. > >His interest is HF, 2 and 70cm and not 6M. > >I thought I would ask here as I don't know what to tell him due to lack of >experience in the higher bands. > >Off list or On is OK as long as it doesn't flood the reflector with >QRM.....:-) There's no QRM on the reflector, just Phase Noise! -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
