K144XV

[John Lemay]

Hi all

I'm really keen on the 2m transverter module, but having gone through the
motions of completing the order form, it looks as though the cheapest
carrier will be UPS Worldwide at $109.20.

All of a sudden I'm losing interest. There will be the cost of the
transverter and replacement interface board, carriage, and import tax to
pay.

I can't see an easy way round this ............

Regards

John G4ZTR

There are U.S. remailing services. And you may have friends who visit the U.S.

You might like to consider the XV144, John. These are occasionally to be
seen on eBay and I believe there is at least one person in the UK on
here who is selling an unbuilt kit now the K144XV has been launched.

The XV144 works very well with the K3 with its existing KXV3 and has the
added advantage that it can also be used with the K2 and other
transceivers.  It runs 20W output on most modes but half that power on
FM/AM.  I am more than satisfied with mine.
