Hi Wayne, Good points. You had also mentioned the need for an amp if I wanted more TX power than the XV50 provides. Another good point.
But, if I decide to keep my XV50 will you make me a black metal chassis housing with white lettering so that it will match my K-3? :o) Thanks and best to all in Aptos!

The XV-50 might provide an advantage if: - you already had your station set up with multiple XV-series transverters - you had HF antennas connected to both ANT1 and ANT2, and thus need to use a transverter in order to take advantage of a special 6-m antenna - you already have an XV-50, need the lower NF it provides on 6 m, and you'd rather not outfit your K3 with a PR6 preamp (and KXV3 I/O board) 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
