Hi Don,

Thanks for your response Don, the design of these XV transverters which have been done many years ago for the k2 line is something I understand perfectly. Since this time the technology has moved up, this is the reason why I decided to improve mine. However once more the design of the packaging (flat, light, pretty... ) and the integration into the k2/k3 line is excellent, this daisy-chaining is perfect, avoiding externally complex and ugly cabling. The shame is there is no 23cm transverter into this XV line, probably I'll integrate one of my 23cm transverters into an XV144 I'll depopulate keeping the IF and control logic parts. My goal is to replace my IC910H (2m/70cm/23cm) with the k3 plus XV series, but with improved performances.

You're doing an excellent job guys (Elecraft team), continue going up, we love this.

Best 73's

Pierre-Francois,

Bob Friess N6CM *is* the designer of the XV series of Elecraft transverters, and the RF sections of many other Elecraft products. He is an excellent RF engineer. Your comments on the limitations of the XV series transverters are well taken, but decisions regarding upgrading the designs must be considered with respect to the product volumes and the engineering resources available.

73,
Don W3FPR
