the 2m transverter is different than the K3 - yeah, since the K3 does
not operate on 2m. I suppose you meant the K144XV transverter
installed internal to the K3.
Answer is the KX2-2M is very different architecture. It converts
144-148 to 50-54 MHz unlike other Elecraft transverters that convert
to 28-30 MHz.
I found that I have the KX3 schematic but not the 2M transverter
schematic. I have the block diagram somewhere (I think). It was up
on the Elecraft website when the transverter was introduced but don't
think you will find it now.
But really I can't see why one would need to have the schematic as
the density of component on the pc board is not reparable by most
hams. This is one thing one should just send back to
Elecraft. David has his own reasons and I will not ask.
I once considered whether an ext. LO synth could be used and found
out from Wayne how different the design was. Temp compensation plus
heat sink mostly took care of frequency stability issues for
HF/6m. I've not tested 2m for drift; running under 3w probably does
not produce much heat.

I'm betting the 2 m XVRTER for the KX3 is different circuit than the
internal one for the K3. It's also a very different form factor.
