Dave,
Are you using (or expect to use) a TRANSVERTER for the UHF bands? That
is, indeed, pretty much the standard way nowadays. In a transverter, the
transceiver input and output are MIXED, not multiplied. So the total
frequency drift is the SUM of the drift of the transceiver (in this
case, the KX3 with 2M transverter) and the drift of the UHF transverter.
Drift of the KX3 with 2M transverter would be multiplied ONLY if you
were to use a system that multiplied the TX output to feed the 1.2 GHz
transmitter. That's feasible, I guess -- 1296 is the 9th harmonic of 144
MHz -- but the 2M rig would need to TX below 144 MHz to cover all of
the band, and the RX would still be MIXED.
