Interesting question, but my Tx duty cycle is pretty low on FM! Anyway,
you can always dial back the exciter power. (On the Orion, anyway.)
The spec sheet says "5W maximum recommended for high duty cycle FM &
Data operation".

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 styling for XV transverters
The stock XV144 working with an "IF" of 28.0 - 29.7 MHz only covers
144.0 - 145.7 MHz, which excludes a lot of the FM activity. It's really
aimed at CW/SSB work on 2M. It would definitely be nice to have an
extended transverter (two crystals?) that would cover 144-148. We
probably could live with poorer sensitivity/NF on the higher end.
Styling is great as it is, but a set of skins for your favorite rig
would be a plus, too. (I use mine with the black Orion!)

Since the K3 can do FM, I would expect the XV transverters to be
popular add-ons. I know I will be getting the XV144 and the FM filter.
Are there any plans to offer the transverters with K3 styling?
