I believe the external transverters have slightly better NF than the internal one, which could be an additional advantage for the kind of things you seem to be interested in. If you can't build it yourself then I believe that the folks who advertise that they will build K2s for people will build other Elecraft kits as well.
I think that the Elecraft transverter (or any decent trasnverter) in front of a K3 will give you a better receiver than the IC9100 will have. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
