144 as transverter IF

[Elecraft mailing list]

This past weekend was the 10 GHz and Above Contest. I used
the KX3 as an IF  for  my 10 GHz  HB transverter (144 MHz).  The power
level of the KX3 was set to .5 watts. Very little drift was observed.
I made over 30 contacts (CW and SSB) using the
KX3, a couple at 450 km.
  Having done the temperature compensating
procedure and keeping the power low, (less than a half watt) should keep the radio
cooler, thus minimizing the drift.
Adding the PX3 should make a very interesting microwave
radio.
