Scott,
Right now, the K3 XVx RF can be set to most any frequency (MHz
increment) from 0 to 999 - but unfortunately the IF frequency is
currently limited to 7, 14, 21, 28, and 50 MHz.
If we could convince Wayne and Eric to support the 10 MHz band as an IF,
that would work for the 10 MHz IF used in the Jackson Harbor Press kit
that has received some recent 'press' here. I suppose a 4 MHz If might
be possible too - but that may depend on how many users there may be.
What is the chance that you could change the mixer crystal to give your
VLF converter a 7 MHz IF? If it has tuned circuits at the output, those
would have to be changed to the new IF as well, but it certainly should
not be a daunting task, perhaps just a few toroids to wind.
I don't know how well any of this works because I have not tried it, but
it seems feasible looking at the K3 transverter interface menus.

Regarding the VLF converters, one question I have for the SW folks at
Elecraft is whether they could add a transverter "band" to support these
unique receive converter IF frequencies. For example, I have a VLF converter
that I've used for years that was designed for a 4 MHz IF.
I realize that I can simply tune 4 to 4.5 MHz and mentally ignore the 4 MHz
portion of the display, but it would be ideal if I could define a new
"transverter" band where 4 to 4.5 MHz is displayed on the front panel as
0-500 kHz.

Interesting Ron.....and,as a matter of interest, on the 'Night of
Nights', I've copied KPH, on 426kHz, here in the far north of NZ's North
Island, for several years now.
