I'm hoping to use it with a 24GHz transverter, so I guess I'll be embarking
on the extended VFO temperature compensation procedure at sometime after
deciding on whether to purhase the KX3-2M unit.
However, the more I hear and read about the KX3-2M, the more I'm thinking
that it's not going to be good enough. I enjoy using CW on 2M and most of
the contacts on 24GHz will probably be CW as well, but my transverter is not
GPS locked, so the combination may not work too well.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3-2M module?
- The module is unlikely to support very narrowband modes, because
short-term local oscillator excursions at the I.F. (48 MHz) are, in
effect, multiplied by about 3. FM and AM modes can be used with normal
factory temperature compensation on 2 m. To use CW/SSB, the extended VFO
temperature compensation procedure will be required. This level of
compensation would also allow the use of narrow-shift RTTY. But JT65 and
similar modes on 2 meters would probably require tighter frequency
stability.
