[Elecraft] using a K2 with transverters on satellites

[David]

G'day Keith,

I use my K2 + XV144 on AO-7, VO-52, FO-29 (when it worked) and DO-64 (when it 
works) and it does the job well.  I don't have an XV432 yet.
The 10m bandpass filters need re-adjusting; there is a tech paper on the 
Elecraft website to get the 2MHz bandwidth.  From memory it's a matter of 
changing a capacitor and re-alignment.  It may struggle to get the full 3MHz 
for 435-438MHz.
