Damn, have XV144 not yet built - will probably wish to sell that now,  
since it was intended to be used with my K3.

Unfortunately I shall be unable to make it to Dayton, Wayne.

Do you have a data sheet for the panadapter too?  ;-)

I'd be interested in reports on the K144XV from those of you going to  
Dayton who have a XV144.
How does it fit in, where does the additional Ant. socket go and what  
type is it (PL259/N/BNC?)

Congratulations Wayne - these look to be excellent products. I think you've
caught most of us by surprise!

For those of us not going to Dayton, when will we know prices and when will
you be taking orders?

73 to all

Very nice Wayne!  Only 3 questions :)

1. Why the 200W limit on VHF/UHF sensor?
2. When will they actually ship?
3. What are the headers for on the 2m board?  70cm perhaps?

There may be a higher-power VHF/UHF sensor in the future.

To be determined.

A future option module. It would include a PLL circuit that locks the
K144XV's crystal oscillator to the K3's internal 49.38 MHz reference,
and a pair of jacks to allow the K144XV to be used as an IF for
higher-band transverters.

[Jim AB3CV]

Several questions come to mind:

So does this mean I'm going to need to start using a mike or will there be a
sudden upsurge of 2M CW?

Who will run the 2M Elecraft net and will it be multimode?

I wonder how my 88ft doublet will spew on 2M?

Will there be roger beeps, etc, in the firmware?

There must be a good market for wattmeters these days in spite of the fact
that most rigs and amplifiers have internal meters. Gosh, I would have thunk
a K3-S external speaker would be an easy sell and a panadapter would blow
ICOM off the market and give Flex a run for their money.

Actually this will probably get me to do some 2M activity! I liked the other
poster's idea of it being hidden and not likely to be considered a "new
rig."

I'll have to do some research on 2M antennas.

I much agree that a panadapter would or should have been on their priority list rather than what they've just announced especially the wattmeter portion. Fern with K3 #412

[K7TV]

I have been eyeing the 2m transverter because of an old thing I have about
2m cw and ssb. Really irrational, since neither has any activity here in AZ.
My first reaction to the news was, wow, I bet the new K3 option will cost
less than the transverter, but will it have an oven option? Then when I saw
that it will depend on the K3 frequency, it looked even better. Only issue
now is I'd need a kilowatt and moonbounce to get to use it (I am not a fan
of FM), and 10 W may not be enough to drive a tube to 1 kW.

Erik K7TV
