[Elecraft] 60 meter transverter

[Jessie Oberreuter]

     Just to make sure we're on the same page, I believe the 60m xvert
option is /two/ things -- a 60m band module for the K2 (just like 160m
comes separately), and a tranverter interface option on the same board.
For 60m, you'll just operate your K2 normally; if you have a transverter
for another band, you will be able to plug it into the forthcoming
transverter in/out ports.  Until it appears, you can drive units with
built in TR switching (eg TenTec, DEM with the AOS adaptor) via Ant1/Ant2,
and xverters with separate TX and RX (eg DEM, Microwave Modules, etc.)
with TX out on Ant1/Ant2 with a pad, and RX coming in through the 2nd RX
antenna on the 160m board.
