It was me.

The XV-50 might provide an advantage if:

- you already had your station set up with multiple XV-series 
transverters

- you had HF antennas connected to both ANT1 and ANT2, and thus
   need to use a transverter in order to take advantage of a
   special 6-m antenna

- you already have an XV-50, need the lower NF it provides on 6 m,
   and you'd rather not outfit your K3 with a PR6 preamp (and KXV3 I/O 
board)
