Don,
That's not really a problem, as I would use the K2 for receive
only. Transmit would be by the FT817, which is ok in transmit but lacks
on receive. So, with a couple of receive only converters in front of the
K2, should make an excellent satellite combo.

The only pitfall that I know about is that the K2 frequency cannot be
changed while transmitting. That is a problem for some installations, your
requiremnts may differ.

I love chasing the LEO satellites and am looking to make some
improvements to my station. I want to us my K2 for satellite ops on FO29
and VO 52. My plan is to add the 60 m / xvtr board to the rig and use a
145 and 435 MHz receive only converters ( I already have both) for the
down link. This way I can use the better K2 receive capability and
another rig for uplink transmit. m Using the xvtr board should allow me
to have auto switching as well as freq read out directly on the K2. Any
comments or pit falls?
