I have the following Japanese rigs; Kenwood TS-711A (2m only), Yaesu
FT-736R (2m and 70cm) and a Yaesu 857D (2m and 70cm).  I have two
K3's; one is dedicated to VHF/UHF.  The VHF/UHF K3 uses the XV144 and
XV432 Transverters.  It out performs all three of the Japanese rigs on
RX and TX.

VHF and UHF are displayed on both VFO's depending on which XVTR is
selected.
