Hello OM, I am using XV144 with my K3, IC7800 and IC7700. It outperform my IC970H, IC910H, TS790A and of course FT736R. My only complaint is that XV144 is not quite design for FM use and becomes extremely hot when operating under FM mode.
I now use a cooling platform, which is designed for notebook computer, to cool my XV144. I hesitate to buy the XV432 because I have learnt some unfavourable reports about frequency and operation instability. I am awaiting more positive reports about XV432 before I go ahead and build it. cheers, Johnny VR2XMC --- 2008年6月7日 星期六，Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 寫道﹕ > 寄件人: Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 主題: Re: [Elecraft] Xverters > 收件人: "cptpatmcd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 副本(CC): [email protected] > 日期: 2008 6 7 星期六 上午 7:30 > The FT736R is not known for having much dynamic range.
