For a number of years, I SWL'd on LF using [or at least trying to use] a
Palomar receive up-converter 0 - 600 Kcs to 80 meters. In NorCal,
LORAN-C took out everything. LORAN-C is gone now, but the bleed-through
on 80 meters made this a very difficult challenge. I really can't see a
market for any such product for the K2.

Eric,
Are you kidding? Yes, the K2 can receive 630 meters with a suitable
transverter, but it would have to have an input/output frequency at 14
MHz or above.
The K3 with the new synthesizers and the upgrades to the KBPF3 can
tune down to that band, as can the K3S with the KBPF3 option.
You can use the transverter output with the K3/K3S in TX TEST mode to
provide a 1mW signal to an amplifier for those low frequency bands, or
you can use an external transverter.
I don't know of any plans to produce a low band transverter from
Elecraft.

After reading the Elecraft Application Note on this, I'm wondering if
there has been discussion at Elecraft of producing an XV.472 (sic)
transverter?
Imagine, a fella could even operate 630m from his K2.
Elecraft could be first on the block with true 630m integration.
Instead of throwing a wire into a tree, we could throw a 29-ft slinky
into a tree. Mouth-watering.
