OK, the new K144XV-F costs 349.95. Also needed is KXV3A_UPGR (39.95). A total of 396.90. This is 26.95 more than XV144 and you don't have the inconvenience/pleasure of building it yourself. The noise figure is worse and the output power less than the half. Are there any benefits at all with K144XV-

Yes - It has its own mounting bracket to the side of the K3 and can be installed without or with the KRX3 sub rx. (You get a new K3 left side panel with the new mounting holes.) It actually sits a little above the sub RX and does not contact it. The K144XV and KRX3 are totally independent mecha
