[Elecraft] KXV3A vs KXV3?

Is there a link to info on the benefit of the A version? I just reviewed the order page see there is the upgrade for this. I've been out of the loop awhile wonder if this upgrade would be of interest to me. Thanks Gary KA1J __

The A version is only needed if you wish to install the internal 2 Meter transverter. Essentially the only difference is the addition of an IF in and IF out connector on internal TMP connectors. If you never plan on using the 2 Meter internal transverter there is no reason to upgrade. ~Brett
