K3 styling for XV transverters

[David Fleming-4]

Since the K3 can do FM, I would expect the XV transverters to be
popular add-ons. I know I will be getting the XV144 and the FM filter.
Are there any plans to offer the transverters with K3 styling?

There's no present plan to do this, but it's certainly a possibility
for the future. After the panadapter, power supply, external
speaker....

The stock XV144 working with an "IF" of 28.0 - 29.7 MHz only covers
144.0 - 145.7 MHz, which excludes a lot of the FM activity.  It's really
aimed at CW/SSB work on 2M.  It would definitely be nice to have an
extended transverter (two crystals?) that would cover 144-148. We
probably could live with poorer sensitivity/NF on the higher end.

Styling is great as it is, but a set of skins for your favorite rig
would be a plus, too.  (I use mine with the black Orion!)

Interesting question, but my Tx duty cycle is pretty low on FM!  Anyway,
you can always dial back the exciter power. (On the Orion, anyway.)

The spec sheet says "5W maximum recommended for high duty cycle FM &
Data operation".

Will the power supply contain the speaker as well? Be a nice space saving feature.

Speking of transverters....

Will the K3 display be changeable like the K2 so you get 144.xxx 50.xxx
222.xxxx etc

If you can allow us to add the display to 1296.xxxx for future upconverting
I will buy loads of K3s!  :-)))))

What about the CW keyer ... And the DVR - any idea on fuctionality

Can they be controlled ala' icom style by a small keypad remotely??

And any beacon modes......?

All helpful to us SHF ops
