[Tim] The RX2 is an HF + 6m module only. Will there be any extended RX (and possibly TX) range? [Tim] On receive it will have extended capabilities. It will support each band with the range for VHF and UHF as stated in the product description http://www.flex-radio.com/Products.aspx?topic=F5K_upgrades TX= 144-148 / 430-450 MHz RX= 132-165 /420-465 This would be important for those of us driving transverters with 144 or 432 IFs for the microwave bands. There are situations where frequency allocations are not global (2.3 and 3.4GHz in particular) which require wideband TX/RX or multiple LOs in the transverter to cover all the possible splits for EME, not to mention yet another offset for satellite work on all of the. Will this option have its own dedicated RF connections (HUGE plus)? [Tim] Yes. Full duplex operation is supported. Someone else mentioned 222. If 222 TXCV was available, even at the milliwatt level, that would be a huge bonus! I would guess that since this is no longer a transverter, that most of those options would be a matter of programming. At 02:57 PM 8/24/2009 -0400, Tim Ellison wrote: >Ray, > >You are 100% correct.
