[Elecraft] IF shift

[Don Wilhelm]

Brett,

Yes, the Kenwood TS-820 was a single conversion transceiver that 
implemented IF shift.

To have IF shift in a single conversion receiver it is necessary to 
change both the VFO and BFO together in synch (and in the proper 
direction).  I believe it could have been done in the K2 microprocessor 
with enough memory space to accomplish that feat.  The K2 microprocessor 
has been short on available memory space for its entire lifetime.
