Trust me, Kevin, Wayne call tell you that I’ve bugged him in the past for an all-mode, stand-alone transceiver for the 6m, 2m, 222 MHz and 432 MHz bands.
I made the point that they have the technology, since they have sold transverters for those bands for some time now; just put it all in one box. Of course, that’s probably an oversimplification. His reply in the past was that there probably isn’t the market out there for such a transceiver, which makes sense to me. I almost bought the 222MHz transverter, then found out that there’s almost no activity on that band in this area except during contests, or on the repeaters. Odd, considering that this is the second-most populous area in the USA. I did buy a Kenwood TS-2000X transceiver, which covers those bands, plus 1.2 GHz but minus 222 MHz. It sure would look nice to have the VHF/UHF coverage in a matching transceiver with the Elecraft label, sitting next to my K3S, though... 73 de Jim-AD6CW Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 1, 2018, at 12:26 PM, kevino z [email protected] [KX3] > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Wayne if you guys made an all mode UHF VHF full duplex radio for satellite > ops, you’d made a lot of people happy and fill an area that folks are having > to buy two 817’s to accomplish.... > just my two cents > -Kevin (KK4YEL) > > ----- > The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, > while the stupid ones are full of confidence. > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
