I used mine at home and more often on mountain tops during VHF+ contests as a rover. I am often in line of sight to other high power rovers and the KW stations in the valleys below. I used a K2 with my transverters. After a number of previous rover setups that did not do well, I found this combo worked well. I had no more adjacent bleed issues, and stability was quite acceptable. I have since swapped the K2 for the K3 "just because" :-) .
I have not had the K3 combo out on a mountain top yet. I have done extensive A/B swapping at the home station between the XV144 and K144XV and show no discernable difference in performance except some noise/spur pickup and lower output power in the K144XV (no surprise). That is offset by having the 4Mhz band coverage making FM possible. I like that since I an pickup Simplex QSOs and do some occasional repeater or satellite work and use the same antennas, no extra switching or rotators required. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-and-transverters-tp7562743p7562802.html Sent from the Elecraft 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:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
