Hi Jeff! I also have the K144XV and find it to be a very good option. I'm really glad I bought it and will probably put one in my other K3. I too would like to see K70XV or K432XV. If enough of us ask for one, perhaps Elecraft will see there way to doing it if it is profitable. You can get a Flex5000 with both bands as an add in, but you have to send that rig back to the factory to get them installed. The K432XV option would have sold K3's instead of Flex5000's to many of the fellows I know here in TX who are buying Flex5000's to drive microwave XVTRs. 73 and Good on Ya mate!
