Re: K4 - VHF/UHF

Will there ever be a VHF/UHF radio? I'm sure because of the cost factor
there would a limitation. The interest would be the next question. Had to
ask...

At one point I considered buying a second K3 and installingsmall transverters where the 100w PA would typically go.

I would like to see a matching box that had Transvertermodules that you could insert for the various bands.

That's a Yaesu FT-726r

It came with a 2m module, and had space for two more.

Haven't seen anything like it since.

It also had a 435 MHz module, with space for two more. It was ready for satellite use from the factory.

No, it only had space for ONE extra module.
You're thinking of the FT-736R

Re: K4 - VHF/UHF

Actually, I need to correct myself. The FT-726 DID have space for two
optional modules because it only came with the 2M band.
Curiously, you needed TWO modules to cover the whole ¾M band.
One covered from 430 to 440 MHz and a different one covered from 440 to 450
MHz.
