Hello Grant, I do agree with you. For serious contesters, they could go for XV144. This also gives Elecraft a clear product distinction between XV144 and K144XV. Different product suit different market demand without too much product line overlap.

But it seems this is one of those things that benefits a very few users at the expense of adding a bit of operational clunkiness for the bulk of K3 users and to what was originally a pretty clean design idea with single band coverage. Heavy hitting contesters, do, after all, have other options such as high performance external transverters, etc., which they most likely already have on the table.
