[Elecraft] full 70cm band coverage possibilities?

[Robert Friess]

Changing the IF of the XV432 is not difficult from a design
standpoint, but requires careful testing with test equipment not found
in most hamshacks.  A new crystal would be needed in the Local
Oscillator and there may be possible changes in a couple of the LO
filter components.  Next the IF filter would need to be redesigned to
cover 50 to 54 MHz and then, finally, the XV432 output spectrum would
have to be looked at with a spectrum analyzer to assure that all
spectral purity requirements been achieved.

The K3 cannot cover the range from 30 to 32 MHz because of a bandstop
filter  that has been included to suppress 6 meter image responses.
