One issue with the XV transverter option is that they only cover part of
each of the bands, dropping the regions primarily used for FM repeater
and FM simplex use. Even if someone wants the transverter primarily for
non FM modes, they still might want to be able to also use the rig for
FM repeater base station operations. Even the KX3 2m module recognizes
this by providing coverage for the entire 2m band, plus extended range
at reduced sensitivity, whereas the XV144 only covers the lower half of
the band.

No, it already exists in the K3/10 with XV-144/220/432 or the
K3/10 with KXV-144 for those wanting only 6 and 2.
Better if Elecraft were to spend their development time on with
simultaneous crossband receive and reverse VFO tracking with the
K3/KRX3 for satellite operation and working on a larger, true
home station, 200W K4.
