The XV144 works very well with the K3, Dave, and you don't need anything else, not even the KXV3A which is necessary for the internal K44XV transverter. The K3 with its stock 2.7 kHz filter is fine unless you wish to use FM in which case you would need the KFL3B-FM 13 kHz filter.
I do not know how you would use CW via a repeater. We do not have CW repeaters here in the UK. I see there is someone currently selling a XV144 in the UK for 200ukp which is a very good price. 73 David In a recent message, Dave Buchanan <kf5...@yahoo.com> writes > >I was thinking about adding 2m capability to my K3. >Can anyone tell me if the XV144 External Transverter is all I need to >do this, or are there additional cables, filters, etc... also required >for this upgrade? > >My intention is to use it for two meter cw via local repeaters which I >can easily hit with ten watts. >Currently have only the stock 2.7 filter. -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
