[Elecraft] Xverters

[cptpatmcd]

Being new to this sort of thing, I hope someone could explain the benefit of
the elecraft transverters.  Here's the question: Why go for the elecraft
xverters when I can get another 2m/70cm band radio to work sats with for
less?
neg 1.  two more boxes to move around rather than one (I travel a lot). I
had a Kenoowd th-d7 that worked just fine.
neg 2.  price (can afford them, but dont like throwing money away)
neg 3.  Doesnt having more boxes connected between a K3 and the antenna
(think for L band) just make it not worth it?

I'm all for the idea, but particularly number 3 makes me wonder if this is
the most effective way to work sats with my K3...

And for those of you trying to find me, I'm temporaraly down. I'm being
blamed for TVI in my area, despite the slight breach of the laws of physics
I'd have to accomplish to do that.  So my antenna is down right now.
