Steve,
Nice article on how you modified the K2 to be a 144-MHz IF for use
with mw transverters. The venerable IC290R was used by many for a
long time. I hear of some using the FT-817 which is selectable on
144-MHz output for 0.5/1.0/2.5/5.0w. I had one that I used to drive
a DEMI 10-GHz transverter with either 0.5 or 1.0w. But when the KX3
came out I could see it was way superior radio to the FT-817 and
makes a nice 144-MHz IF by addition of the 2M module.
I now have a 2w PA on 10-GHz which drives well with the KX3-2M + DEMI
transverter (10mw out).
So anyone that does not have a K2 to convert might look at the KX3-2M!

Seriously like the KX3-2M. It dedicated as mw IF and HF/6m mobile
operating with KXPA100. At home is usually monitoring 6m for DX
openings. I run a 150w TE linear amp for 2m-SSB mobile with the KX3-2M.
<psst - I will be doing 10G portable mw from Copper Harbor in the UP
(MI) next August><from Longmont, CO RV CG I will be running 500w on
6m during July CQ-VHFContest>
