[Elecraft] Re: Looks like 5 MHz in trouble

[Wayne Burdick]

Jeff,

We're keeping close tabs on this situation. We have already demonstrated
60-meter capability with a modified K2 (including the KPA100 and
KAT100), so we can quickly complete work on a 60-meter option if and
when the FCC does approve this band.

Our prototype "K60XV" option combines both 60 meters and a low-level
transverter interface on a single PC board. But if 60 meters is not
approved, we'll probably redesign the PC board to provide more
transverter-related features.

73,
Wayne
