Oh, sorry although I didn't say it, I would want the second band to be 70cm, not 70Mhz. On Sat, 28 May 2011 14:57:09 -0700, "Barry Garratt" wrote: > >>The Dual Band inboard transverter is a great idea! > >>I'm about to start using my second K3 as a mobile rig and that would make >an excellent

The Dual Band inboard transverter is a great idea! I'm about to start using my second K3 as a mobile rig and that would make an excellent addition to it. By the way I have noticed that the K144XV has labeled 144MHz IF in and out openings. What is implied by that? 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator

I agree, Eric, it would certainly be nice if the K3 covered 70MHz. As has been suggested one way of doing it would be to use a modified XV50 external transverter. I believe someone has already produced some mods that enable the XV50 to operate on 70MHz. That would run up to 25W on CW and SSB.
