K2 as IF for V/UHF and uW

zeke7237
I'd love to hear from people who have been using the K2 as an IF for
v/u/micro contesting. I purchased a rover vehicle recently and I'm
thinking about abandoning the riceboxes it came with and move to
transverters for the low bands.

Current setup has dual FT-100's, which drive TE amps for 50, 144, and
432 directly and 222 using a 28Mhz IF. The microwaves (through 10G)
are all run with 144Mhz IF from an IC-706.

I'm thinking a couple of K2s with some switching of control and IF so
they can share a set of Elecraft xverters (hopefully including one for
432 eventually - hint, hint :) That would cover the bottom 6 bands
directly .. I'm tending towards an SDR solution for the top 4 anyway
that would give me a nice bandscope display.

Anybody out there roving with a K2?
