[Elecraft] XV144 paired with Uniden HR-2600?

[Siu Johnny]

Hi Cathy,

Just to further supplement my previous email.  The overall performance in 
144 Mhz will quite depend on the performance of your IF rig i.e. HR2600.

In other words, it is impractical to think that XV144 will give you 
exceptional performance in 144 Mhx if your IF rig is not a good performer.

>From the price tag of XV144, you will note that XV144 is intended to be 
used with high quality station rig for demanding weak signal operation in 
heavy QRM conditions.

So, IMHO, think about your operation preference before go ahead for the 
XV144.

Folks,

    I am interested in building the XV144 transverter.  However, I do not 
want to tie up the K2 as the IF.  Instead, I have a Uniden HR-2600 
(unmodified) lying around that I'd like to use for the IF/tuner/etc.

    Has anyone out there used the 2600 or 2510 as the IF for the XV144?  
How difficult is it to do this?  Reading thru the XV144 manual with regard 
to separate TX/RX cables, PTT cables to trigger the XV, blah blah, makes me 
a bit nervous.  Am I going to have to modify the Uniden?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cathy
