[Elecraft] K144xv for K3 and noise figure

[Don Wines]

Guys,

Keep in mind that the XV144 stand-alone transverter only covers the bottom 
2MHz (144-146) of the band and would be great for weak signal work with 
either the K2 or K3 because of its low noise figure higher power whereas the 
internal K144XV for the K3 covers the entire 144-148 MHz band but with lower 
power and somewhat worse noise figure.

Make your choices according to your needs.

As with other things in life, there are always trade-offs! :^)

Don,
