[Elecraft] K144xv for K3 and noise figure

[Terry Price]

I believe with some of the newer firmware, 3.03 and later, the K3 will cover
above 30 MHz which would allow a standard XV144 to cover the full 4 Mhz.
just as the k144xv will. Not sure how much IF rolloff there is but for FM,
I'm sure it's better than any FM only rig!

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,
