How difficult would it be to modify the XV432 to use a 6M IF?
Or perhaps the K3 could use 28-32MHz when in transverter mode?

Colin,
You might have VFO B in the wrong mode. Try doing AB twice, then go
into split.
If this doesn't work, try loading the latest beta-test firmware (2.82).
I'm sure we tested split on each release, but this rev might have a
relevant improvement.

If the DX is actually an exact 5 kHz up, there will still be a

Maybe that is why the pileups never seemed to big to me. I was only

Changing the IF of the XV432 is not difficult from a design
standpoint, but requires careful testing with test equipment not found
in most hamshacks. A new crystal would be needed in the Local
Oscillator and there may be possible changes in a couple of the LO
filter components. Next the IF
